About Reflective Heat Shield Fiberglass Sleeve
Reflective Heat Shield Fiberglass Sleeve
Constructed from a high temperature base filament/texturized fiberglass fabric which is then coated with highly reflective polished aluminum. The aluminum foil coating melts at 1220 degree F/ 660 degree C, however it does take some time for the aluminum foil to absorb enough heat to melt, thereby it can withstand short exposure to the higher temperatures. The basic fiberglass fabric is 1000 degree F/537 degree C, while adhesive will burn-off or vaporize at temperatures above 300 degree F/148 degree C.
The sleeve is fabricated from a roll fabric, and is sewn with a double lock-stitch seam utilizing high temperature Kevlar thread. The resulting sleeve has a teardrop or tadpole profile when viewed on-end; the width of the sewn tail is typically 6mm.
Product Features and ConstructionThis sleeve combines the durability of texturized fiberglass with a radiant polished aluminum coating. The fabric's high-temperature resistance is complemented by the reflective surface, effectively deflecting radiant heat and extending component life. Multiple diameters and wall thicknesses suit diverse industrial requirements.
Application and Use CasesWidely utilized in automotive, aerospace, and industrial settings, the sleeve shields critical lines from extreme heat. Its flexibility makes installation straightforward, even in tight or awkward spaces. The reflective sleeve is particularly effective in protecting cables and pipes near heat-generating machinery or exhaust systems.
FAQ's of Reflective Heat Shield Fiberglass Sleeve:
Q: How is the Reflective Heat Shield Fiberglass Sleeve constructed?
A: The sleeve is constructed from a base of high temperature filament or texturized fiberglass fabric, which is then coated with a layer of highly reflective polished aluminum to enhance thermal protection.
Q: What sizes and thicknesses are available for this heat shield sleeve?
A: This sleeve comes in diameters ranging from 15mm to 300mm and wall thicknesses between 0.4mm and 3mm, allowing you to choose the precise fit for your application.
Q: When should I use an aluminized fiberglass heat shield sleeve?
A: This sleeve is ideal for scenarios requiring protection from intermittent or short-term exposure to high radiant heat, such as near exhaust systems, industrial furnaces, or hot pipelines.
Q: Where can the reflective heat shield sleeve be applied?
A: It can be applied in automotive, aerospace, power plants, and manufacturing environments-essentially anywhere components need shielding from excessive heat.
Q: What is the process for installing the fiberglass heat shield sleeve?
A: Installation involves selecting the correct diameter and thickness, cutting the sleeve to the required length, then slipping it over the component to be protected. It can be secured with clamps or thermal tape if necessary.
Q: How does the reflective aluminum coating benefit my application?
A: The polished aluminum coating significantly increases reflectivity, reducing thermal transfer and preventing heat damage to sensitive components, thus improving safety and extending service lifespan.
