Firesleeve Tape is constructed from a high-temperature silicone rubber, specifically formulated to handle extreme environments and provide a reliable seal in demanding applications. This self-fusing, non-adhesive silicone tape bonds only to itself, forming a durable, airtight, and moisture-resistant seal. Unlike standard tapes, it cures within 24 hours at room temperature, creating a strong and lasting bond without the need for additional adhesives.

One of the critical functions of Firesleeve Tape is to seal the ends of fire sleeves, preventing the wicking of fluids and contaminants like dirt or grime into the sleeve. When applied to the ends of hoses, cables, or wires wrapped in firesleeve, the tape ensures that the firesleeve maintains its protective properties, guarding against high heat, engine fluids, solvents, and even molten metal splashes. This makes Firesleeve Tape an essential finishing touch for fire protection and thermal insulation in industries such as aerospace, automotive, heavy equipment, and transportation.

Firesleeve Tape is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, with a wide operating range from -85°F to 500°F (-65°C to 260°C). It is also resistant to harsh environmental conditions, including exposure to engine fluids, solvents, and other hazardous substances. The tape’s resistance to high heat and molten metal splashes further ensures its durability and long-term performance in critical applications.

The tape’s self-fusing properties allow it to be easily wrapped around firesleeves, securing them into place and providing additional reinforcement. It can be applied to the ends of firesleeve installations as well as at intervals along the length of the sleeve to prevent shifting or unraveling. Firesleeve Tape is available in both oxide-red and black colors, with a center guideline stripe to aid in precise spiral wrapping during installation.

Each roll of Firesleeve Tape comes on a Mylar backing film and is packaged in a protective plastic bag to ensure its quality and shelf life. For best results, the tape should be stored in a cool, dry environment to maintain its performance over time.

In conclusion, Firesleeve Tape is an essential component in any firesleeve installation, providing a reliable seal that protects hoses, cables, and wires from heat, fluids, and contaminants. Its self-fusing, high-temperature silicone composition ensures long-lasting performance in even the harshest environments, making it a trusted choice in a wide range of industries.
