What is the fire-retardant silicone fiberglass sleeving and what is the sizes range?
Jul 23,2024
Fire-retardant silicone fiberglass sleeving is a protective tubing made from braided fiberglass that is coated with a high-temperature, flame-retardant silicone rubber. This sleeving is used to protect wires, cables, and hoses from extreme temperatures, flame, and other harsh conditions. It offers excellent thermal insulation and can withstand high heat while providing electrical insulation and mechanical protection.
Key Features:
-
High Temperature Resistance: Can typically withstand temperatures up to 200°C (392°F) continuously, with short-term exposure to higher temperatures.
-
Flame Retardant: The silicone coating is designed to self-extinguish and prevent the spread of flames.
-
Electrical Insulation: Provides good dielectric strength, protecting wires and cables from electrical faults.
-
Chemical Resistance: Resistant to oils, solvents, and other chemicals.
-
Mechanical Protection: The fiberglass braid provides abrasion resistance and durability.
Sizes Range:
Fire-retardant silicone fiberglass sleeving comes in various sizes to fit different diameters of wires, cables, and hoses. Common sizes range from:
-
Inner Diameter: Typically from 4mm up to 150 mm or more.
-
Wall Thickness: Can vary depending on the manufacturer and specific type, but usually around 2.5 mm to 5 mm.
These sizes can accommodate a wide range of applications, from small electronic wires to large industrial hoses. Specific size availability may vary depending on the manufacturer or supplier.
