EMSCO’s Firesleeve is a non-asbestos protective covering for water-cooled power leads. Our Firesleeve™ covering is manufactured to aerospace specifications with woven fiberglass coated with EMSCO’s exclusive compounded silicone rubber. Field tests using molten steel have shown that our Firesleeve™ covering withstands short-term exposure to 1650°C molten metal with no damage to the hose underneath. EMSCO’s Firesleeve develops a protective coating, causing subsequent splashes to bead and roll off.
Far superior to standard fiberglass sleeves on the market, EMSCO Firesleeve™ coverings withstand long-term exposure to temperatures as high as 260°C. Ranging in sizes from 1/4″ to 4 1/2″ ID, it can be installed on any cable, hose, tubing, air and gas lines, wiring, fittings, etc. that need protection from molten metal splash, high temperatures and/or abrasion.
