Fire sleeves are an essential component of any electrical system safety protocols within an industrial building. These simple but effective coverings provide a layer of protection around wires and cables, preventing them from catching fire or spreading flames. They work by eliminating exposure to fire and reducing heat and smoke spread, which allows more time for evacuation and response.
Fire sleeves are designed to be highly resistant to extreme temperatures, making them ideal for applications where high levels of heat are present. They’re constructed from durable materials such as fiberglass or coated silicone, which can withstand temperatures exceeding 1000°F (538°C).
Additionally, fire protection sleeves provide robust protection against molten metal splash, a common hazard in metalworking industries. The specially engineered fabrics repel molten splashes, preventing the material from adhering to and damaging the cables or wires a sleeve covers. Furthermore, the sleeves’ flame-resistant properties mean they act as a barrier against direct flame impingement, ensuring the integrity of critical electrical systems and reducing the risk of spreading fire.
