About Yellow Firesleeve
Yellow 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.
Superior Heat and Flame ResistanceYellow Firesleeve excels in environments exposed to high temperatures, with continuous operating resistance up to 260C and short-term capability to handle peaks of 1650C. Its outer silicone coating and braided glass fibre core ensure exceptional flame retardancy, meeting the stringent UL 94 V-0 standard for fire safety across a range of industrial settings.
Versatile Protection for Industrial ApplicationsEngineered for flexibility and durability, Yellow Firesleeve safeguards wiring, cables, and hoses from extreme heat, mechanical stress, and environmental hazards. Its flexible design and low water absorption make it a reliable solution for indoor and outdoor use in sectors like automotive, aerospace, metallurgy, and chemicals, offering long-lasting performance.
Flexible Sizes and Easy InstallationAvailable in 10 mm to 102 mm diameters and thicknesses of 2 mm to 5 mm, this tubular firesleeve can be delivered in coils or cut to custom lengths based on project demands. Its flexible architecture ensures ease of installation around various hose sizes while maintaining structural integrity and a secure fit.
FAQ's of Yellow Firesleeve:
Q: How is Yellow Firesleeve installed on hoses and cables?
A: Yellow Firesleeve is designed as a flexible tubular sleeve, allowing it to be easily slipped over cables, hydraulic hoses, or industrial hoses before connection. For retrofitting, the sleeve is threaded through the length of the hose or cable and secured at the ends, ensuring optimal thermal protection and a snug fit.
Q: What benefits does the Yellow Firesleeve offer in high-temperature environments?
A: The firesleeve delivers continuous protection at temperatures up to 260C and short-term safeguarding up to 1650C, making it ideal for safeguarding equipment in extreme environments. Its flame-retardant silicone coating ensures compliance with UL 94 V-0 standards while providing excellent tensile strength, flexibility, and low water absorption.
Q: Where can Yellow Firesleeve be effectively utilized?
A: This firesleeve is suited for a wide range of applications in the automotive, aerospace, metallurgical, and chemical industries. It is effective in protecting cables and hoses in both indoor and outdoor settings that experience high heat, mechanical abrasion, or exposure to chemicals.
Q: What is the process for selecting the right size Yellow Firesleeve?
A: To select the appropriate firesleeve size, match the inner diameter of the sleeve to the outer diameter of the cable or hose. Available sizes range from 10 mm to 102 mm in diameter, with thicknesses between 2 mm and 5 mm. Custom lengths can be provided to meet specific installation needs.
Q: What are the advantages of the firesleeve's construction materials?
A: The braided glass fibre inner layer offers excellent heat insulation and tensile strength, while the silicone rubber outer coating provides flexibility, flame retardancy, and resistance to water absorption. This combination ensures long-term durability and shape retention in challenging operating conditions.
Q: Is the Yellow Firesleeve RoHS compliant and environmentally safe?
A: Yes, the firesleeve is RoHS compliant, indicating that it is free from hazardous substances commonly restricted in electrical and electronic products, making it a safe and environmentally responsible choice.
Q: When should the Yellow Firesleeve be replaced?
A: Periodic inspection is recommended. Replace the firesleeve if there are signs of severe mechanical damage, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures beyond specifications, or degradation of the silicone coating to maintain optimal protection.
