| Pyro-jacket is constructed from high bulk fibreglass fiber that is woven to produce a hollow sleeve. It is coated with a thick covering of iron oxide red silicone rubber. The ability to shed molten metal splash and withstand intense radiant heat are important characteristics that make Pyro-jacket ideal for protecting hoses, cable and wire rope in a variety of hostile environments. Pyro-jacket will withstand 500°F (260°C) continuous exposure up to 2000°F (1090°C) for 15 to 20 minutes and up to 3000°F (1640°C) for 15 to 30 seconds. |
Pyro-jacket is available in Industrial and Aerospace grades. Industrial grade Pyro-jacket is available in sizes up to 100mm (4") I.D. Aerospace grade Pyro-jacket is available in sizes up to 290mm (11.1/2") I.D. Aerospace grade Pyro-jacket conforms to SAE AS 1072 specifications for use on commercial and military aircraft, missiles and coast guard vessels. Aerospace grade Pyro-jacket is made from the same bulk glass fiber and features a dense braided fiberglass core. All Pyro-jacket has an unlimited shelf life. Typical applications involve protecting hose and cables in steel mills, aluminum smelting plants, offshore drilling rigs, foundries and glass manufacturing facilities. Pyro-jacket features an excellent modulus of elasticity allowing it to easily stretch and expand over fittings and connectors. The outer cover offers excellent resistance to most industrial chemicals and hydraulic oils. Additional uses include the bundling of multiple hose and cables together, while providing good abrasion resistance. In applications where operators and maintenance personnel are working in the vicinity of steam or hot oil lines, there is the danger of employees incurring serious burns from the "branding effect" of the hot braided hoses, Pyro-jacket provides effective burn protection from steam lines while insulating against costly energy losses. |
