GS-N5 is a high quality, high temperature electrical insulation sleeving consisting of an extrusion coating of specially formulated silicone rubber over closely braided, electrical grade fiberglass. Fiberglass pre-treatments result in strong adhesion between glass sleeve and silicone coating. The high pressure coating process ensures a smooth, even surface, without the wall thickness variation and the pimples and protrusions of broken fibers which are typical of sleevings produced by some alternative coating systems. GS-N5 sleeving is also characterized by its flexibility and smooth, firm inner wall, allowing easy cable insertion.

A high quality, high temperature, flame retardant sleeving for protection of hose, cable and process lines. GSUP sleeving consists of an extrusion coating of specially formulated silicone rubber over highly expandable braided fiberglass. The braid construction allows high radial expansion of up to 100% and has a smooth firm inner wall for ease of installation. Fiberglass pre-treatments result in strong adhesion between glass sleeve and silicone coating. The high pressure coating process ensures a smooth, even surface, without the wall thickness variation and the pimples and protrusions of broken fibers which are typical of sleevings produced by some alternative coating systems. GSUP sleeving is also highly flexible, but is non-fraying when cut. The silicone rubber coating is non-flammable (self-extinguishing) and suitable for continuous use at 480F (250C). The coating is fully post-cured to eliminate the possibility of residual volatile compounds.

For low and medium pressure applications Ipotec is an authorized distributor of diaphragms made with dispersed fiber technology (DFT). Diaphragms-DFTDFT is a revolutionary new production technology for thin, reinforced rubber diaphragms. Small reinforcing fibers are dispersed throughout the rubber matrix in place of the single fabric layer traditionally used in such applications. When compared with traditional fabric reinforced diaphragms, DFT may offer the following advantages:

Improved sealing performance.
No possibility of leakage by wicking along fabric path.
Additional design possibilities, such as shaped sealing features and variable material thicknesses in specific areas.
Increased flex life.
Greater sensitivity and lower hysteresis.
Better ozone resistance.
Improved low temperature flexibility.
Lower operating noise levels.
Improved mechanical performance.
Cost reduction

We do not offer a standard product range all products are custom engineered for specific applications.
Elastomers in regular production with fiber reinforcement include:
NBR (nitrile, buna-N).
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer).
ECO (epichlorohydrin).
FKM (fluorocarbon, e.g. Viton).
Diaphragms can be supplied bonded to a variety of flange gasket materials.
