Heat Shield Tubing & Tapes
World Class Products
For 30 years we have been developing Silicone coated Pyrosleeves and Firesleeve, with knitted or braided glass technology, capable of withstanding molten metal splashes up to 1200ºC. Our proven technologies provide essential protection from external heat sources.
View ProductsHigh Temperature Protection Across Critical Sectors
Our Pyrosleeves, Firesleeves, Pyrotapes and Basalt Sleeving solutions are trusted across demanding industrial environments where extreme heat, molten splash and high-pressure systems are present. From heavy vehicle manufacturing and power generation to marine, rail, aerospace and process industries, our products protect personnel, reduce heat loss and improve system efficiency. With over 30 years of technical expertise in high-temperature sealing and insulation, we provide proven materials and practical advice to help engineers specify with confidence.
