About Silicone Coated Fiberglass Firesleeve
Silicone Coated Fiberglass 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.
Specifications:
Reliable High-Temperature ProtectionOur Silicone Coated Fiberglass Firesleeve is meticulously crafted to safeguard hoses and cables exposed to harsh industrial environments. The combination of braided fiberglass substrate and a thick silicone rubber coating ensures not only resistance to intense heat, flames, and molten splash, but also excellent durability against abrasion. This makes it an essential safety component in steel production, glassworks, metal refining, and oil processing environments.
Customizable for Diverse ApplicationsWith a choice of diameters between 6mm and 180mm, thicknesses from 2mm to 5mm, and a spectrum of color options, this firesleeve can be tailored to specific operational needs. Whether for rubber vulcanization, platen press machinery, or high-temperature molding processes, its adaptable construction accommodates various cable and hose sizes, ensuring optimal fit and maximum protection.
FAQ's of Silicone Coated Fiberglass Firesleeve:
Q: How is Silicone Coated Fiberglass Firesleeve manufactured?
A: The firesleeve is fabricated by braiding bulk fiberglass yarn into a tubular sleeve, then applying a thick liquid silicone rubber coating. This process provides a tough barrier that enhances resistance to heat, flames, and chemicals.
Q: What makes this firesleeve suitable for industrial use?
A: Its dual-layer construction-fiberglass for high-temperature resistance and silicone for insulation and durability-allows it to perform reliably in environments such as steel mills, aluminum smelting plants, and glass factories where extreme conditions are common.
Q: Where can this firesleeve be installed?
A: This product is ideal for use in steel mills, foundries, offshore drilling rigs, and similar facilities. It's especially beneficial anywhere that hoses and cables require robust protection from heat, flames, or molten material splash.
Q: When should I consider using a silicone coated firesleeve?
A: Use this firesleeve when installing or upgrading hose and cable insulation in high-temperature or hazardous industrial processes, such as rubber vulcanization operations and platen presses, to ensure safety and longevity of your equipment.
Q: What are the available color and size options?
A: The firesleeve comes in red, black, yellow, grey, white, green, and brown, with sizes ranging from 6mm to 180mm in diameter and 2mm to 5mm in thickness. Length options include 15m, 20m, 30m, 40m, and 50m rolls.
Q: How does the firesleeve benefit industrial operations?
A: It provides a critical protective barrier against heat-related damage, prolongs the lifespan of your hoses and cables, reduces maintenance costs, and enhances workplace safety by preventing burns, equipment failure, and fire hazards.
