Fire protection sleeve

braidedcarbon fiberaramid

Description
Carbon fiber braided sleeve is manufactured from 3K, 6K and 12K fiber yarns using a specialized weaving process to create a biaxial braid with a 45° fibre orientation. Available also in Kevlar and glass fiber variants, these sleeves combine low weight with high stiffness, torsional stability and compressive strength. The sleeve diameter increases when the ends are pushed together and decreases when pulled; typical compression is about 20–25% and tension about 60–65% from the base diameter.

Features

• Good electrical insulation and heat preservation properties.
• Very lightweight while maintaining dimensional stability.
• High tensile strength and elevated temperature resistance.
• Flexible construction and easy to install on cables, hoses and components.

Application

• Surface covering and protection for irregular wires, cables and hoses; high torsional stability for bundled assemblies.
• Common in aerospace, wind power, marine, exhaust systems, sports equipment and industrial machinery.

Technical characteristics

• Material types: carbon fiber yarns in 3K, 6K and 12K configurations; also available in Kevlar (aramid) or glass fiber on request.
• Braid orientation: 45° biaxial braid providing high stiffness, torsional stability and compressive strength.
• Mechanical behavior: sleeves expand when ends are pushed together and reduce diameter when tensioned; compression ~20–25%, tension ~60–65% from base diameter.
• Typical uses: electrical insulation, thermal protection, reinforcement for high-performance parts, mechanical protection for wires/cables/hoses.
