Heavy-Duty Thermal Protection for Industrial Environments
Our Braided Basalt Fibre Sleeving is a premium high-temperature protective sleeve designed for industries where heat, abrasion, and chemical exposure are part of everyday operations. Made from texturized basalt fibre, this heavy-wall sleeving delivers superior insulation, increased durability, and long-lasting protection for critical components such as cables, hydraulic hoses, tubes, and pipework.
With its robust 3 mm wall thickness, this sleeving is ideal for applications that require maximum thermal protection and mechanical strength.
What Is Braided Basalt Fibre Sleeving?
This braided sleeving is constructed from texturized basalt fibre yarn woven into a flexible, expandable tubular sleeve. Basalt fibre is a naturally heat-resistant, high-strength material derived from volcanic rock, offering exceptional thermal stability and chemical resistance.
The 3 mm thick wall provides enhanced insulation and impact protection compared to standard lightweight sleeves, making it better suited for heavy-duty or continuous-exposure environments.
Why Choose Basalt Fibre Sleeving?
Basalt fibre provides significantly better temperature resistance and chemical durability than many traditional materials. Unlike synthetic fibres, basalt will not melt, burn, or release toxic fumes under extreme heat. This makes it a reliable solution for applications where safety, longevity, and performance are critical.
Typical Applications
Braided basalt fibre sleeving is widely used to protect cables, wires, hydraulic hoses, pipelines, and tubing that operate near engines, furnaces, burners, or other heat-generating equipment. Its high durability and insulating properties make it suitable for manufacturing plants, foundries, automotive and transport systems, heavy machinery, mining operations, and processing facilities. The thick wall also improves personnel safety by reducing surface temperatures on hot components.
