About End Dip Firesleeve

End Dip Firesleeve

The Aerospace Grade Firesleeve is fabricated from a bulk braided fiberglass yarn substrate with thick liquid silicone rubber coating. Coating process of silicone rubber on fiberglass sleeve makes this firesleeve flexible, expandable for connectors covering.

Properties:
Firesleeve is made from braid high bulk glass fiber sleeve and coated flexibility Silicone Rubber can withstand repeated exposures to molten steel, molten aluminum and molten glass up to 3000 degree F (1650 degree C).
The aerospace grade coating of our proprietary iron oxide red silicone rubber compound sheds molten metal splash immediately, so very little heat transfer occurs.
When exposed to flames, the silicone rubber transforms into a crust, creating a protective SiO2 refractory layer.
Excellent modulus of elasticity makes it an ideal choice for bundling hoses, tubes and cables in a variety of hostile environments.

Applications:
The typical applications include protecting hoses and cables in steel mills, aluminum smelting plants, offshore drilling rigs, foundries and glass manufacturing facilities.

The silicone coated fiberglass fire sleeve features an excellent modulus of elasticity, allowing it to easily stretch an expand over fittings and connectors. The outer cover offers excellent resistance to most industrial chemicals and hydraulic oils. Additional uses include the bundling of multiple hoses and cables together, while providing good abrasion resistance.

In applications where operators and maintenance personnel are working in the vicinity of steam lines or hot oil lines, there is always the danger of employees incurring serious burns from the branding effect of hot braided hoses. The silicone rubber coated sleeve provides effective burn protection from steam lines while insulating against costly energy losses. Applications include rubber vulcanization operations, platen presses, infection molding plants-anywhere hot steam or oil lines are used.

Exceptional Thermal and Flame Resistance

Engineered for environments where heat and fire pose serious risks, the End Dip Firesleeve provides reliable protection up to +260C continuous exposure and a remarkable resistance to molten splashes at 1650C for short bursts. Its E-glass fiber core and silicone rubber coating shield your assets, conforming to recognized SAE AS1072 and FAR 25 fire-resistance standards.

Versatile Applications Across Industries

Suitable for a wide range of uses, this product excels in safeguarding hydraulic hoses, wiring, and cables in automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors. Its flexible, abrasion-resistant surface and broad size selection ensure compatibility for diverse installation needs, delivering enduring performance wherever high-temperature insulation is critical.

FAQ's of End Dip Firesleeve:

Q: How is End Dip Firesleeve installed on hydraulic hoses or cables?

A: End Dip Firesleeve is fitted by sliding it over the desired hydraulic hose, cable, or wiring prior to connecting fittings. Once in place, it provides continuous protection along the length of the component, with custom lengths available for specific requirements.

Q: What are the main benefits of using End Dip Firesleeve in high temperature environments?

A: The sleeve offers robust flame and thermal protection, flexibility, and abrasion resistance. Its capability to withstand temperatures up to +260C-and brief exposure to molten splash-ensures safety and extended lifespan for hoses and cables in demanding conditions.

Q: When should End Dip Firesleeve be considered for industrial applications?

A: Install the firesleeve whenever hoses, wires, or cables are routed near heat sources, exposed to risk of fire, or must meet stringent fire safety standards like SAE AS1072 or FAR 25, commonly required in industrial, aerospace, and automotive settings.

Q: Where can End Dip Firesleeve be effectively used?

A: It is ideal for use in engine compartments, factories, refineries, and anywhere high temperatures and fire risks are present. Its robust construction is trusted in hydraulic systems, electrical cable installations, and control wiring networks.

Q: What is the process for customizing the length or size of End Dip Firesleeve for specific projects?

A: Custom sizing is available by request; simply specify the internal diameter (from 6 mm to 127 mm) and desired length beyond the standard 1 meter. This allows adaptation to unique configurations and project requirements.

Q: What makes End Dip Firesleeve compliant with fire safety standards?

A: This product meets and exceeds SAE AS1072 and FAR 25 standards, ensuring it has undergone rigorous fire resistance tests to guarantee performance and regulatory compliance in critical applications.
