Basalt Sleeves Provide Excellent Thermal Protection
Basalt sleeves are primarily used in high temperature pipe insulation applications. They are constructed of lightweight basalt fiber yarns knit into heavy-wall sleeves that offer enhanced heat resistance, thermal performance, and durability when compared to typical fiberglass sleeve products. Basalt fibers are made from volcanic rock, making them environmentally friendly, non-hazardous, and 100% recyclable. Recommended for a continuous operating temperature of 1382°F (750°C), our flexible basalt sleeves expand one and a half times their diameter for optimal coverage and easy installation around awkward shapes and tight bends and over fittings, couplings, and other obstructions.
Knitted Basalt Sleeves Are Easy to Install
These slip-on high temperature exhaust sleeves are resistant to most oils, fuels, acids, alkalis, and other fluids, and their dense, single-wall design minimizes snagging, eliminates fraying, and enables neat, easy field-cutting without specialized tools. When used as an exhaust heat shield in automotive applications, basalt sleeves can facilitate efficient vehicle emission control systems by retaining high temperatures as gases flow through the exhaust. Basalt sleeves can also be used to protect pipes, hoses, and cables from high temperatures.
