Aluminized Fiberglass Sleeve

Product Overview

LXHTR Aluminized Fiberglass Sleeve combines a braided fiberglass inner substrate with a highly reflective aluminum foil outer layer.

Through advanced lamination technology, the aluminum layer remains securely bonded to the fiberglass substrate even under harsh thermal cycling conditions, ensuring long-term performance without delamination.

This sleeve provides a cost-effective solution for reducing heat absorption, protecting critical systems, and improving equipment reliability.

Core Design Features

• High Radiant Heat Reflection — The aluminized surface reflects up to 90% of radiant heat energy, significantly reducing heat transfer to protected components.
• Braided Fiberglass Core — The fiberglass substrate provides excellent thermal stability, flexibility, and mechanical strength.
• Durable Laminated Construction — Advanced bonding technology helps prevent foil separation, even in demanding industrial environments.
• Flexible Installation — The sleeve easily slides over hoses and cables and can also be supplied with hook-and-loop closures for retrofit installations.

Key Advantages

• Reduce Heat Absorption — Protects sensitive cables and hoses from excessive radiant heat exposure.
• Extend Service Life — Helps reduce premature aging, hardening, and thermal degradation.
• Lightweight Protection — Provides thermal shielding without adding significant weight.
• Easy Retrofit Installation — Hook-and-loop versions can be installed without disconnecting existing lines.
• Cost-Effective Thermal Shielding — An economical alternative to complex heat shield assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between aluminized fiberglass sleeve and silicone fire sleeve?

Aluminized fiberglass sleeves are designed primarily for radiant heat reflection, while silicone fire sleeves provide superior protection against direct flame, molten splash, and mechanical abrasion.

2. Can the sleeve be installed on existing hoses?

Yes. Hook-and-loop closure versions can be installed without disconnecting hoses or cables.

3. Is the aluminum layer durable?

Yes. Advanced lamination technology helps maintain a strong bond between the aluminum foil and fiberglass substrate under high-temperature conditions.

4. Can custom sizes be manufactured?

Yes. LXHTR can supply custom diameters, lengths, and closure configurations based on application requirements.
