A Silicone Coated Knitted Glass Sleeve is a flexible, heat-resistant protective sleeve made from knitted fiberglass yarns coated with a layer of high-temperature silicone rubber. The knitted construction allows for greater elasticity and expandability compared to braided fiberglass sleeves, making it easier to install over irregularly shaped components. The silicone coating enhances durability, provides flame resistance, and protects against moisture, chemicals, and mechanical wear.

Uses of Silicone Coated Knitted Glass Sleeve:

This type of protective sleeve is widely used in industries that require high-temperature insulation, abrasion protection, and fire resistance.

1. Automotive Industry:

   • Protects fuel lines, hoses, and electrical wiring from engine heat and abrasion.
   • Helps maintain the efficiency of turbocharger and exhaust system components.

2. Industrial & Manufacturing Equipment:

   • Shields hydraulic and pneumatic hoses from extreme temperatures and mechanical damage.
   • Used in factories and power plants for thermal insulation of machinery.

3. Aerospace & Aviation:

   • Protects sensitive wiring and tubing in aircraft engines and exhaust systems.
   • Provides heat shielding for hydraulic and fuel lines.

4. Welding & Metal Processing:

   • Acts as a protective barrier against molten metal splashes, sparks, and high heat.

5. Marine & Offshore Applications:

   • Used to safeguard hydraulic hoses and fuel lines in ships and offshore platforms from harsh environmental conditions.

6. Electrical & Electronics Industry:

   • Insulates high-voltage cables and prevents short circuits caused by external heat and abrasion.
