Silicone Fiber Glass Sleeving – High-Temperature Insulation Protection

2025-10-12 11:35:20

The Silicone Fiber Glass Sleeving is a high-performance electrical insulation tube made from braided fiberglass coated with high-quality silicone resin.
It offers excellent heat resistance, electrical insulation, and mechanical protection, making it ideal for wiring systems operating under high temperatures and harsh industrial conditions.

This Fiberglass Sleeving is widely used in motors, transformers, lighting, home appliances, and electronic equipment, providing superior protection against abrasion, moisture, and chemicals.


Features and Specifications

  • Material: Braided E-glass fiber coated with silicone resin

  • Temperature Resistance: -60°C to +200°C (continuous use); short-term up to +250°C

  • Dielectric Strength: ≥ 4.0 kV

  • Thermal Class: Class H (180°C)

  • Standard Color: White, red, black (custom colors available)

  • Inner Diameter Range: 0.5 mm – 25 mm

  • Length: Standard 1m or customized per request

  • Flame Resistance: Self-extinguishing after removing the flame source

  • Certifications: RoHS, REACH, UL approval available


Function

The Silicone Fiberglass Sleeving serves as a high-temperature electrical insulation and mechanical protection cover.
Its dual-layer structure — flexible fiberglass braiding and silicone coating — provides both thermal endurance and resistance to voltage, oil, and aging.

It is mainly used to:

  • Insulate electrical conductors and wires

  • Protect cables from heat, abrasion, and chemical corrosion

  • Bundle and organize wiring in electrical systems


Advantages of Use

High Temperature Resistance:
Withstands continuous exposure to 200°C and brief peaks up to 250°C — ideal for high-heat environments.

Excellent Electrical Insulation:
Ensures safety and stability in motor and transformer wiring applications.

Durable and Flexible:
Resists tearing, aging, and moisture while remaining easy to bend and install.

Flame Retardant & Safe:
Self-extinguishing silicone coating provides added protection against fire hazards.

Chemical and Oil Resistance:
Performs reliably even in harsh industrial environments with oils, solvents, and coolants.


Applications

The High Temperature Fiberglass Sleeving is widely applied in:

  • Electric motors and transformers

  • Household appliances and lighting equipment

  • Automotive wiring harnesses

  • Aerospace and marine industries

  • Electronic components and circuit boards

This sleeving provides a long-term insulation solution for demanding applications requiring heat, flame, and abrasion protection.


How to Use

  1. Cut the sleeving to the desired length.

  2. Slide it over the wire or cable to cover the area requiring protection.

  3. Secure both ends with heat shrink tubing or insulating tape if necessary.

  4. Avoid excessive stretching to maintain insulation integrity.


Maintenance & Storage

  • Store in a dry, ventilated environment, away from direct sunlight.

  • Avoid contact with acids, alkalis, or solvents for prolonged periods.

  • Periodically inspect for cracks or hardening after long-term exposure to heat.


FAQ

Q1: What temperature can Silicone Fiber Glass Sleeving withstand?
A1: It can operate continuously at 200°C and short-term at 250°C without losing insulation performance.

Q2: Can I get custom diameters or colors?
A2: Yes. We provide OEM customization in size, color, and printing upon request.

Q3: Is it suitable for automotive or aerospace use?
A3: Absolutely. Its high temperature and flame-retardant properties make it perfect for harsh environments.

Q4: What’s the difference between Fiberglass Sleeving and Silicone Coated Fiberglass Sleeving?
A4: Pure Fiberglass Sleeving is uncoated and mainly used for general insulation, while Silicone Fiber Glass Sleeving adds a silicone layer for enhanced heat, flame, and moisture resistance.

Q5: Do you provide samples or technical data sheets?
A5: Yes, samples and full specifications are available upon request.
