Silicone & Fiberglass High-Temperature Sleeving

Silicone-coated fiberglass, inner-fiber/outer-silicone and extruded fiberglass sleeving samples compared

When the spec calls for heat, three silicone-and-glass builds come up. They share a high temperature class but differ in flexibility and wall.

Silicone-coated fiberglass

Silicone-coated fiberglass sleeving is flexible and dielectric, the standard for motor leads and coils.

Inner fiber, outer silicone

Inner-fiber / outer-silicone sleeving puts a braided glass core under a silicone skin, more body and abrasion resistance while staying flexible.

Extruded fiberglass

Extruded fiberglass sleeving is the rigid, highest-temp option for fixed bus and terminal protection.

Where to use each

Moving or bent sections → coated or inner-fiber/outer-silicone. Fixed high-heat bus → extruded. See more under products by material.

Frequently asked questions

Which silicone sleeving is most flexible?

Silicone-coated fiberglass; inner-fiber/outer-silicone adds body but stays flexible.

What is extruded fiberglass for?

Rigid, highest-temperature protection of fixed bus and terminals.

Do these meet flame standards?
