All You Need to Know About Fiberglass Insulation Sleeves

Our day to day industrial and domestic life has gone through several kinds of electrical and mechanical instruments. They required insulation sometime with the heat and sometime with the heat and electricity both. Insulation sleeves are usually made with fibreglass and capable of restricting electricity and heat transition.

The products have a long array of benefits that make it more useful for us, provide safety with heat and short circuit. Some of them are described below.
  • Highly flexible
  • Extreme abrasion resistance
  • Good mechanical resistance
  • Longer shelf life
  • Superior electrical properties
  • Heat-set, cuts cleanly and will not fray
  • Non-corrosive and extremely fungus resistant
  • Easy to pushback and form over components, connections and cables
Silicone coated fiberglass sleeves serve as an easy, affordable alternative to heat-shrink tubing. Fiberglass solutions are engineered to fit comfortably over wire and cable without requiring initial shrinking to size through the use of heat. Fiberglass sleeves offer a range of unique benefits, including its ability to be resin-saturated or heavyweight braided, meaning it will not burn, melt, or become brittle. It’s also cut-through and abrasion-resistant, but can be easily cut with scissors, making it easy to install.

Extremely tough and durable, silicone coated fiberglass sleeves are able to maintain its structure under extreme vibration, abrasion, mechanical stress, and temperature variations. It’s used in a variety of applications to deflect or retain heat in conditions reaching 1,200 °F.

There’s minimal dusting when fiberglass sleeves are cut and handled, and they easily resist gasoline and engine chemicals. Fiberglass sleeves are also resistant to extremely high temperatures; therefore, it’s commonly used as thermal protection for items such as wires, cables, and hoses that are continuously subjected to harsh environments, such as those found in engine manifolds and exhaust systems.

These sleeves are widely used in Insulators, Electrical Winding Insulation, Winding Wire Coating Insulation, Electrical Base, Shell, Motor, and Switch Base Plate and so on.
