Firesleeve silicone-coated glass fibre heat protection sleeve, rated to 260°C continuous and 1200°C molten splash — manufactured by S Riley Fabrications, Burnley

The original

SRF Firesleeve is manufactured from 'E' glass fibre yarn knitted into a sleeve, then coated with high-grade silicone elastomer rubber.

It's a very flexible sleeving designed to protect wires, cables and hoses from high ambient temperatures — continuous protection at 260°C, with the ability to withstand a molten metal splash at 1200°C.

Highly resistant to most oils, hydraulic fluids, fuels, acids and alkalis. When exposed to flame, the high-grade rubber forms a protective SiO₂ layer.
