Alumina Fiber Braided Sleeve

High-Temperature Resistant and Customisable Alumina Fiber Braided Sleeves

Vulcan Shield Global’s alumina fiber braided sleeves are manufactured using an optimized braiding process with alumina continuous fiber yarn. These braided sleeves offer numerous advantages, including lightweight, excellent thermal insulation, fire resistance, chemical stability, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance. It also features high-pressure resistance, high-temperature resistance, and electrical insulation, making it ideal for thermal protection and sealing of various pipelines. Additionally, it can be used with other materials to create packing seals. The braided sleeves have good ductility and can be produced with different elongation rates based on various yarn strengths and textile processes.

Vulcan Shield Global’s alumina fiber braided sleeves are made from twisted alumina continuous fibers, maintaining strength and flexibility at continuous use temperatures of 1200°C.

Important Processing Information – Sizing

The surface of the F-72 Alumina Fiber Braided Sleeve is coated with sizing. Available with epoxy and PU sizing, and other sizing on request. Please note that during initial heating, the sizing may burn out and emit by-products or processing contaminants.
