About Reflective Heat Shield Fiberglass Sleeve With Velcro
Constructed from a high temperature base filamenttexturized 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 F537 degree C while adhesive will burnoff or vaporize at temperatures above 300 degree F148 degree C
The sleeve is fabricated from a roll fabric and is then sewn with Velcro tape allowing this sleeve to be installed and removed with disconnection of wiring cables hose and pipe Sewing is performed with Kevlar or Fiberglass thread The Velcro sleeve results in a circular sleeve profile when closed
High Performance Heat ProtectionBuilt with a 0.18mm thick aluminum foil and a 4mm combined thickness, this sleeve reflects heat efficiently, minimizing thermal conductivity to just 0.035 W/mK at 25C. It reliably shields wires, hoses, and cables from harsh temperatures, thereby extending their service life in automotive, industrial, and machinery applications.
Quick and Easy InstallationThe tool-less, open-and-wrap design equipped with a high-temperature resistant Velcro closure allows for rapid installation without specialized tools. This feature also makes it easy to remove and reuse the sleeve for maintenance or repositioning, enhancing convenience and versatility on the job.
Exceptional Durability and SafetyTested to meet UL94V-0 flame resistance, the sleeve also boasts strong resistance to chemicals, oils, abrasion, and moisture. Its robust aluminum-laminated fiberglass structure ensures long-term reliability and superior protective performance in challenging conditions.
FAQ's of Reflective Heat Shield Fiberglass Sleeve With Velcro:
Q: How is the Reflective Heat Shield Fiberglass Sleeve with Velcro installed?
A: The sleeve utilizes a tool-less open-and-wrap installation method featuring a high-temperature resistant hook-and-loop (Velcro) fastener. Simply open the sleeve along its length, wrap it around the hose, cable, or wire, and secure it using the Velcro for an easy, snug fit.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this fiberglass sleeve for heat insulation?
A: This sleeve provides highly effective heat reflection, flame resistance (UL94V-0), abrasion protection, and resistance to chemicals, oils, and moisture. It also offers flexibility, easy removal, and reusability thanks to its Velcro closure, making it ideal for both temporary and permanent applications.
Q: When should I choose this reflective sleeve over other types of insulation?
A: Choose this sleeve when you require robust thermal protection (up to 550C short term, 260C continuous), easy tool-less installation, and a reusable solution for wires, cables, or hoses in environments exposed to high heat, flames, or harsh chemicals.
Q: Where can this sleeve be used effectively?
A: This reflective fiberglass sleeve is suitable for automotive, industrial machinery, power plants, and any other environments where thermal protection of hoses, cables, or wires from radiant heat and flames is critical.
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for the sleeve?
A: The sleeve can withstand temperatures up to 550C for short-term exposure and 260C for continuous use, making it suitable for many high-temperature industrial and automotive applications.
Q: Is the sleeve available in custom sizes?
A: Yes, customization is possible. The inner diameter ranges from 10mm to 150mm, and both length (up to 30 meters) and width can be tailored according to specific requirements, ensuring compatibility with different installation needs.
Q: What materials are used in the construction of the sleeve?
A: The sleeve consists of aluminum foil laminated onto a fiberglass interior, providing a smooth and reflective surface finish, heat resistance, and high durability while maintaining a lightweight profile.
