Braided sleeve is constructed of high quality type E glass that will not burn and, when coated with vermiculite, will withstand continuous exposure to temperatures of 815°C/1500°F. This material resists most acids and alkalis; is unaffected by most bleaches and solvents; and is highly flexible and conformable. The basic fiber is manufactured in accordance with specifications outlined in ASTM D-578, ASTM committee D13, and subcommittee D13.18.

The addition of the vermiculite saturant adds rigidity and abrasive strength to the product and reduces the likelihood of end fray. This added rigidity results in a sleeving that is easy to apply over long lengths of hose or cable. Applications include thermal insulation and/or protection of industrial hoses and cables as well as affording personnel protection from high temperature hoses and cables.
