High Temperature, Heat, Flame & Fire Resistant Firesleeve
Firesleeve is a high temperature, heat, flame and fire resistant fiberglass sleeve that has been coated with silicone rubber. It is generally used to protect hydraulic hoses, fuel and oil lines, wires, cables and other assets. Firesleeve is an excellent material to protect assets from various damaging environmental items found in industrial plants, including high temperature, high heat, direct flame exposure, exposure to fire, molten metal splash in processing plants, welding slag and splatter, and grinding or cutting sparks.
The base fiberglass material has a rating of 1000°F or 520°C continuous. The silicone rubber coating generally has a rating of 500°F or 260°C continuous, with exposure to higher temperature for shorter duration of time. In fact, firesleeve can survive direct flame/fire exposure up to 15 minutes without failure, making it ideal for protecting fuel and hydraulic lines in aircraft engine, performance race cars and motorcycles.
Firesleeve (fire sleeve) is manufactured from a high grade fiberglass substrate sleeve which is then coated with self-extinguishing silicone rubber. Firesleeve is used for the protection of hydraulic hoses, cables and wires from high temperature, flames, slag, splatter, sparks and contamination in industrial environments such as metal processing, heat treatment, robotic welding and glass making.
Knitted substrate firesleeve is used mostly for industrial applications such as steel mills, foundries, and other metal melting operations, robotic welding operations.
Briaded substrate firesleeve is generally denser, bulkier and thicker than the same size industrial firesleeve. It provides a higher degree of protection, and a slightly higher insulation value as well. Braided firesleeve is always used for aviation applications, as the firesleeve meets the AS1072 specifications, and allows properly fabricated hose assemblies to pass AS1055D testing.
