Thicker, denser inner glass fibre than our Industrial grade gives higher insulation values, increased strength and enhanced abrasion resistance.

Sheds splash immediately.

ADL Insulflex Aerostyle Pyrojacket® withstands repeated exposures to molten steel, aluminium & glass up to 1650°C. The heavy coating of iron oxide red silicone rubber compound sheds molten metal splash immediately, so very little heat transfer occurs.

Withstands intense radiant heat and flame.

Aerostyle Pyrojacket® will withstand continuous exposure to 260°C; up to 1090°C for 15-20 minutes; and up to 1650°C for 15-30 seconds.

When exposed to flames, the silicone rubber transforms into a crust, creating a protective SiO2 refractory layer.

Aerostyle Pyrojacket® is constructed from high bulk glass fibre braided sleeve. Excellent modulus of elasticity makes it an ideal choice for bundling hoses, tubes and cables in a variety of hostile environments.

EAF Cable Covers

EAF Cable Covers
  • Sizes: Custom
  • Cont. Operating Temp.: 260°C
  • Max. Short Term Exposure: 1650°C
  • Molten Splash Resistance: Outstanding
  • Flame Resistance: Outstanding
  • Abrasion Resistance: Outstanding

Specially designed to protect water cooled power cables on Electric Arc Furnaces.

Guard against cable failures

EAF cable covers can withstand the heat, abrasion, impacts, flame and molten splash normally encountered in EAF operations. Even splashes encountered during wet charges are repelled, allowing for continued operation without unexpected cable failures.

Simple hook-and-loop installation

Using 96oz Pyroblanket as the base fabric, a custom fitted sleeve is fabricated with a Nomex high-temperature VCO closure system to enable installation without disconnecting the cables.

Custom fabricated to your requirements

EAF cable covers are custom fabricated in the diameter and length that fit your specific cable protection needs. They can also be supplied with sectional inserts in critical areas to offer extra heat and/or molten splash protection.

Excellent heat and splash resistance

The ultra thick coating of silicone rubber sheds molten splash almost instantaneously, before any heat transfer can occur. When exposed to high temperatures or molten splash for extended periods, the silicone rubber transforms into a Silica refractory crust.

Extra thick, braided high bulk glass fibre. Specially designed to protect your personnel from hot hoses and piping, and cut your energy losses.

Best possible insulation properties

ADL Insulflex Cool Blue™ high temperature sleeve is designed to provide your personnel with effective burn protection from flexible steam lines and hot hoses.

Beneath the heavy coating of cool blue silicone rubber, the braided interior layer of Cool Blue™ is twice as thick as (and denser than) our heaviest grade of Aerostyle Pyrojacket®.

Heat transfer through the sleeve is gently dissipated, so that Cool Blue™ remains friendly to human touch at elevated temperatures. Note: The exterior coating will not adhere to human skin.

Excellent modulus of elasticity

Cool Blue™ can be used to bundle groups of hot hoses or tubes.

Performance rating

Depending on your operating conditions, Cool Blue™ can reduce the outer temperature of a steam hose typically operating at 194°C to approximately 54°C. Cool Blue™ can typically be installed on hose assemblies operating up to 316°C.

Performance lab tested at 1650oC for 1 minute, Pyreflect™ Sleeve reflects at lease 90% of radiated heat energy.

Cable and hose protection in extreme heat.

An ideal choice for operations where occasional (infrared) heat flow must be blocked or stopped. The mirror like surface of Pyreflect™ reflects heat away, instead of absorbing heat and dissipating through the fabric.

ADL Insulflex Pyreflect™ heat reflective sleeve is fabricated from Pyreflect blanket. Pyreflect has two layers of aluminium coating and a protective film, all laminated to a specially designed heavy grade aramid fibre cloth by means of a heat stable adhesive. The aluminium layers will not delaminate from the cloth, even under the most extreme heat conditions.

Available double stitched or with VCO closure.

The sleeve is constructed by slitting the blanket to the appropriate width and double stitching the edge with high temperature glass fibre thread. It can also be supplied with the VCO option of a high temperature hook and loop closure system sewn inside the sleeve to allow installation without disconnecting hoses or cables.

Pyreflect™ Sleeve has extremely durable construction and can meet the most demanding abrasion and tensile strength requirements.

Heavy wall braided glass fibre sleeve: economical hose and cable protection where exposure to molten splash, oils and moisture is not a factor.

Cost efficient high temperature performance. Thermosleeve™ B is a heavy wall braided glass fibre sleeve capable of operating at a continuous temperature of 538°C. High bulk fibre construction gives excellent insulation properties, and the texturized, untreated construction allows Thermosleeve™ B to exhibit dielectric strength and resistance to thermal conductivity.

Use alone or in combination

Thermosleeve™ B can be used by itself, or under other sleeve products to significantly boost insulation values at modest cost.

Choice of grades

Thermosleeve™ B is available in 2 grades: 1.6mm and 3.2mm wall thickness.

Constructed from smooth glass fibre yarn, braided at high yield angles to allow for approximately 25% expansion and contraction.

Heavy wall braided fibreglass sleeve.

ADL Insulflex Thermosleeve™ S is an expandable braided fibreglass sleeve capable of operating at a continuous temperature of 538°C (1000°F).

Designed to expand and contract by approximately 25% of its nominal size, the smooth fibreglass yarn is heat cleaned and coated with an acrylic saturant to eliminate loose fibres, enhancing handling characteristics and improving abrasion resistance. The acrylic saturant begins to decompose at around 204°C (400°F), but with no effect on the thermal performance of the sleeve.

Expandability creates custom size range.

Due to its wide range of expansion and contraction, Thermosleeve™ S is available in just four nominal sizes that cover a complete range of diameters from 10mm (3/8") up to 89mm ( 3 1/2").
