This high temperature knitted sleeve is constructed of 100% basalt yarn, which provides excellent thermal protection and will withstand continuous exposure to temperatures of up to +750°C. When installed on vehicle exhaust tubes and pipes, the sleeve facilitates retention of high temperatures as gases flow through the exhaust system. The durable, knitted design is very flexible, which enables ease of assembly over tubes and pipes with bends and flanges. The dense single wall construction provides optimal coverage. The heavy duty construction, which is more than 15% denser than market average and minimizes snagging and tearing of the sleeve during assembly. The sleeves are available in precut lengths or continuous lengths of up to 150 meter (depending on size), which permits the user to cut the sleeves to exact lengths to adapt to specific requirements. Typical applications include automotive, heavy-duty truck, and bus exhaust tubes and pipes and high temperature industrial applications to protect hoses and cables.
