Silco Sleeve is designed to protect hoses, wires and cables from the hazards of high heat and occasional flame. It protects continuously to 500F and will withstand a molten splash at 2200F. Made of either knitted or braided fiberglass yarns in a flexible substrate, it is then coated with a high grade silicone rubber.
Resistant to hydraulic fluids, lubricating oils, and fuels, Silco Sleeve insulates against energy loss in piping and hosing; protects employees from burns; and allows "bundling" of wires, hoses, and cables. The braided version allows qualified hose assemblies to pass AS1055D testing under stated flow and pressure conditions.
