Pyrotex Industrial Knit Firesleeve provides a flame and molten splash resistant barrier over top of critical system components in a vast number of industrial applications. Atlantex first manufactures a knit insulating substrate from high-quality, texturized fiberglass, and then coats the textile with our custom-formulated, self-extinguishing silicone polymer. The high-performing silicone layer of Pyrotex Industrial Knit Firesleeve protects hoses, wires, cables, and other components from damage due to direct flame, high heat, and molten metal for use in foundry and industrial applications. Installation of Pyrotex Industrial Knit Firesleeve will provide thermal insulation to keep hot lines hot, and cool components cool, reducing energy costs, heat loss, system damage, and premature wear of components. Pyrotex Industrial Knit Firesleeve provides personnel protection by reducing the surface temperature of hot lines, and the silicone coating can be brightly colored to draw operator's attention to potential hazards.
