High Temperature Silicate Fibre Sleeves 1,100 °C

Silicate Fibre Sleeves, up to 1,100 °C

Silicate is a mineral made of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and other metallic oxides, such as magnesium, calcium, aluminium, etc. With their diameter of 9 μm, silicate fibres pose no health risk when handling.

Silicate fibre is inorganic. In addition to containing no toxic substances, its great thermal and mechanical properties make it an interesting alternative to ceramic fibre. Its resistance to high temperatures outperforms that of other materials, such as glass or biosoluble fibre. 

Depending on their level of silicon dioxide, silicate fibre textiles offer different thermal, physical and mechanical properties. The silicate fibre sleeves proposed by Final Advanced Materials can therefore withstand peak temperatures up to 1,100 °C and operating temperatures up to 1,000 °C. They are used in the industry for the insulation of cables and piping, for heat protections but are also as an alternative to asbestos products. 

Final Advanced Materials offers silicate fibre sleeves with inner diameters ranging from 1 to 100 mm. To adapt to every application, different declinations of the silicate fibre are available for silicate fibre sleeves.

For more information regarding the availability, refer to the technical data sheet.
