Mineral Wool Pipe Insulation
These insulation tubes and sheets meet ASTM E84 standards for flame and smoke. They are typically used in process piping and mechanical systems and perform best at temperatures up to 600° F. To use outdoors, add metal jacketing.
Sheets with adhesive-filled V-grooves create a temporary hold to make installation easier.

Electrical-Insulating Tube Sleeving
Add a layer of insulation to prevent electricity and heat from dissipating from wire and cable. This sleeving is often used in motors, transformers, and generators. Made of coated fiberglass, it resists abrasion, acids, alkalies, and chemicals.
Acrylic-coated sleeving is more flexible than vinyl-coated sleeving, so it bends around tight corners. It resists solvents and oil.

High-Temperature Expandable Sleeving
Protect cable, hose, and pipe from abrasion and cuts in high temperature environments—this sleeving withstands temperatures over 450° F. It expands to fit over items for easy installation; sleeving then tightens around its contents for a secure fit. The braided construction permits heat and moisture to dissipate.
Fiberglass sleeving withstands continuous exposure to high temperatures better than all our other high-temperature sleeving materials. It resists burning and is often used near ovens and furnaces, or to protect exhaust pipes and tubes in mobile equipment. It also resists acids, alkalies, oil, and solvents. Acrylic-coated fiberglass sleeving is more rigid than uncoated fiberglass sleeving and minimizes fraying when cut. It has good abrasion and chemical resistance.

Refrigerant-Resistant Sleeving
Coated in acrylic, this sleeving holds up to rapid temperature changes, and it won’t break down from refrigerants, solvents, oil, or lubricants. Also known as hermetic sleeving, it’s designed to protect wires and hose inside air-tight motors, such as those used in air conditioners. It’s made from strong and flexible fiberglass fabric, so you can bend it into tight spaces. Because this sleeving is non-expandable, it does not stretch, so it’s best for applications where you know the exact diameter of the items you need to protect. It’s compatible with potting compounds and varnishes.
Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown. The higher the dielectric strength of a material, the better it is for preventing electricity, heat, or signal from dissipating from wire and cable.
