Fire Resistant Heat Sleeve

Product Overview:

This high-performance fire resistant heat sleeve is manufactured from braided E-glass fiber yarn with a high-grade silicone rubber coating. Designed to protect hoses, wires and cables from radiant heat in automotive engine bays, racing applications and industrial environments. Effectively shields critical components from exhaust, turbo and manifold heat radiation.

Key Specifications:

• Inner Diameter: 6mm / 8mm / 10mm / 12mm / 13mm / 15mm / 16mm / 18mm / 19mm / 20mm / 22mm / 25mm / 28mm / 30mm

• Material: Braided fiberglass + silicone rubber coating

• Continuous Working Temp: 260°C

• Short-term Exposure: 1200°C (molten metal splash resistant)

• Melting Point: 1650°C

• Flammability Rating: Self-extinguishing (UL 94 V-1 / VW-1)

• Fluid Resistance: Resistant to fuels, hydraulic fluids, oils, acids & alkalis

• Colors: Silver / Red / Black (varies by version)

• Features: Flexible, cuttable, abrasion resistant, waterproof, UV resistant

Material & Construction:

The sleeve is constructed from braided E-glass fiber yarn, offering excellent heat resistance and tensile strength. The outer silicone rubber coating forms a protective SiO₂ layer when exposed to flame, enhancing fire protection . Some versions feature aluminum foil reflective coating for additional radiant heat reflection .

Applications:

• Fuel line protection from engine bay heat

• Brake line heat shielding near exhaust components

• Wiring harness and sensor cable protection

• Turbocharger system hose protection

• Intercooler pipe thermal insulation

• Industrial hydraulic lines and high-temp equipment

Installation Instructions:

1. Cut sleeve to desired length (using hot knife or scissors)

2. Slide sleeve over lines to be protected

3. For split sleeve versions, wrap around lines and secure with zip ties or high-temp tape

4. Seal ends with heat-resistant tape or heat shrink if required

5. Ensure full coverage of protected area

Available Versions:

• Standard Silicone Coated: 260°C continuous, 1200°C short-term – ideal for most automotive applications

• Reflective Aluminum Coated: Added aluminum layer for enhanced radiant heat reflection

• Split Self-Closing: Slit design allows installation without disconnecting lines

Important Notes:

• Maintain proper clearance between sleeve and heat source for optimal performance

• For extreme direct heat (exhaust manifold contact), consider heavy-duty alternatives

• Multiple layers can be applied for enhanced protection
