Thermal Protection Firesleeve is a high-performance heat-resistant sleeve designed to protect hoses, cables, and wires from intense radiant heat, direct flame, and mechanical wear. Constructed from braided or knitted high-quality E-glass fiberglass and coated with a thick layer of heat-resistant silicone rubber, this sleeve offers exceptional thermal insulation and flame resistance. It is commonly used in industrial, aerospace, automotive, and hydraulic systems where extreme temperature environments are encountered.
Key Features:
Superior Heat Resistance:
Rated for continuous exposure up to 260°C (500°F) and short-term flame exposure up to 1650°C (3000°F). The silicone outer layer resists molten metal splash, slag, sparks, and hot oil.
Durable Construction:
The inner braided fiberglass core provides flexibility, strength, and insulation, while the thick silicone rubber coating ensures environmental and abrasion protection.
Fire and Flame Protection:
Protects hoses and cables from flame exposure, helping to prevent burn-through and maintaining system integrity in fire-prone areas.
Moisture and Chemical Resistance:
Silicone outer layer resists hydraulic fluids, lubricating oils, fuels, and many chemicals—ideal for use in harsh environments.
Easy Installation:
Slip-over design makes it quick to install on existing hoses and cables without the need for disconnection.
Applications:
Hydraulic and pneumatic hose protection in steel mills, glass plants, and foundries
Wire and cable insulation in aerospace and defense systems
Automotive hose fire shielding in performance racing and off-road vehicles
Electrical line protection in welding and smelting environments
Oil and gas pipeline systems exposed to thermal hazards
