Types of coated fiberglass sleeve

 
 


Silicone-coated fiberglass sleeves come in various types, each designed to meet specific needs and applications. Here are some common types:

1. Standard Silicone-Coated Fiberglass Sleeve

  • Description: This is the most common type, with a layer of silicone rubber coating the fiberglass core.

  • Features: High-temperature resistance, flame retardant, flexible, and durable.
  • Applications: General purpose, suitable for automotive, aerospace, industrial, and electronics applications.

2. Heavy-Duty Silicone-Coated Fiberglass Sleeve

  • Description: Thicker silicone coating for enhanced protection.

  • Features: Greater abrasion resistance, higher temperature tolerance, and increased durability.

  • Applications: Harsh industrial environments, heavy machinery, and areas with high abrasion and mechanical stress.

3. High-Temperature Silicone-Coated Fiberglass Sleeve

  • Description: Specifically designed for extreme temperature environments.

  • Features: Can withstand higher continuous and short-term temperatures compared to standard sleeves.

  • Applications: Aerospace, defense, and applications involving exposure to open flames and molten metals.

4. Fire Sleeve (Pyrojacket)

  • Description: A specialized type of silicone-coated fiberglass sleeve designed to protect against fire.

  • Features: Extreme fire resistance, often meeting specific fire safety standards like UL 1441.

  • Applications: Protecting cables and hoses in environments where fire hazards are a concern, such as in aircraft, automotive racing, and industrial safety.

5. Reflective Silicone-Coated Fiberglass Sleeve

  • Description: Features an additional reflective layer over the silicone coating.

  • Features: Reflects radiant heat away, providing enhanced thermal protection.

  • Applications: Protecting hoses and cables from radiant heat sources, commonly used in automotive and industrial applications.

6. Colored Silicone-Coated Fiberglass Sleeve

  • Description: Available in various colors for identification and aesthetic purposes.

  • Features: Same protective qualities as standard sleeves but with the added benefit of color coding for easy identification.

  • Applications: Organizing and identifying cables and hoses in complex systems, such as in industrial plants and aerospace.

7. Self-Closing Silicone-Coated Fiberglass Sleeve

  • Description: Designed to wrap around cables and hoses easily without the need for disconnection.

  • Features: Overlapping construction, easy installation, and removal.

  • Applications: Retrofitting existing cables and hoses, especially in maintenance and repair scenarios.

8. Spiral-Wrapped Silicone-Coated Fiberglass Sleeve

  • Description: A sleeve that is spirally wrapped around cables and hoses.

  • Features: Flexibility and ease of application, allows for branching of cables without cutting the sleeve.

  • Applications: Protecting wiring harnesses and bundles where branching and flexibility are required.

9. EMI/RFI Shielded Silicone-Coated Fiberglass Sleeve

  • Description: Includes an additional layer for electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) shielding.

  • Features: Combines thermal and mechanical protection with EMI/RFI shielding.

  • Applications: Electronics, telecommunications, and aerospace where both thermal protection and signal integrity are critical.

These types offer a range of properties to suit different applications, ensuring that there is a suitable sleeve for almost any need. If you need more detailed information on a specific type, let me know!
