Silicone & Fiberglass High-Temperature Sleeving
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.
