Why choose high temperature braided sleeving?
Standard sleeves degrade rapidly when exposed to intense heat sources. Thermal braided protection utilizes advanced materials such as fiberglass, silica, or silicone to maintain structural integrity and prevent thermal failure of sensitive components.
Key benefits of high temperature sleeving:
- Exceptional Heat Resistance: Withstands temperatures up to +650°C (and significantly higher for silica solutions).
- Thermal Insulation: Effectively reduces heat transfer to surrounding components.
- Splash Protection: Resists sparks, weld slag, and molten metal splashes.
- Flame Resistance: Features self-extinguishing or completely non-combustible materials.
- Chemical Durability: Excellent resistance to oils, solvents, and fuels at elevated temperatures.
Our main high temperature solutions
Insultherm® (Fiberglass): A heat-treated fiberglass sleeve capable of withstanding continuous exposure to $+650°C$. Ideal for insulating exhaust manifolds and steam lines.
FireFlex® (Silicone & Fiberglass): Constructed from a fiberglass braid coated with thick silicone rubber. It protects against radiant heat and welding sparks while remaining extremely flexible.
ThermaShield® (Aluminized): A multi-layer solution combining aluminum and fiberglass to reflect up to 90% of radiant heat. Perfect for protecting wire harnesses in close proximity to engines.
Silica Sleeve (Silica): For the most extreme conditions, this pure silica sleeve can resist continuous temperatures of $+1000°C$. It is used extensively in foundry and steel mill environments.
Applications for high temperature braided sleeving
Our thermal protection solutions are essential across several high-heat industries:
- Aerospace & Defense: Protecting hydraulic and electrical systems in engine compartments.
- Automotive & Motorsport: Insulating fuel lines and wire harnesses near exhaust systems.
- Heavy Industry & Foundry: Shielding cables from molten metal splashes and slag.
- Energy & Power Plants: Insulating steam pipes and thermal sensors.
How to choose the right thermal sleeve?
Selecting the correct high temperature protection depends on several critical factors:
- Operating Temperature: What is the continuous working temperature and the peak temperature?
- Heat Type: Is it radiant heat (radiation) or conductive heat (contact)?
- Required Flexibility: Does the sleeve need to follow tight bends or complex shapes?
- Fluid Exposure: Will the sleeve come into contact with oils, fuels, or corrosive chemicals?
