The braided glass fibre sleeving is coated with an acrylic saturate coating, which adds rigidity and abrasive strength to the product and reduces the likelihood of end fray. Thanks to this rigidity the Thermojacket S is easy to apply over long lengths of hose or cable and the large braid angle allows for significant expansion of the sleeve if necessary (for instance with in-line couplings or bigger cable-splices). The material resists most acids and alkalis; is unaffected by most bleaches and solvents. In the field of cable protection, a complete program of Thermojacket fittings is available for easy installation. Thermojacket S does not withstand molten splash like Hiprojacket does, but offers good heat protection at higher continuous temperatures than are possible for Hiprojacket. Applications include thermal insulation and protecting of cables and hoses in the glass, ceramics and steel industry as well as in the apparatus- and machine building industry.
