An Aluminum Coated Fiberglass Sleeve is a high-performance solution designed to protect automotive components from extreme heat exposure, ensuring the longevity and safety of wires, hoses, cables, and pipes. By combining two high-heat-resistant materials—an outer layer of aluminum foil and an inner fiberglass core—this sleeve excels in both radiant and convective heat protection.

The outer aluminum foil layer reflects up to 90% of radiant heat, making it effective against extreme temperatures generated by engine exhausts, molten metals, and flames. This feature is particularly useful in protecting components that are exposed to hot engine parts, such as manifolds, turbochargers, or nearby exhaust systems. Whether it’s radiant heat from a nearby hot surface or direct exposure, this aluminum layer acts as a robust heat shield, preventing heat soak into the vehicle’s critical systems.

The inner fiberglass layer, known for its thermal durability, is capable of withstanding continuous temperatures exceeding 400°C. This material acts as an insulator, preventing heat transfer and maintaining the internal temperature of sensitive automotive components. Whether used around wiring, hoses, or pipes, this layer ensures long-term protection in environments that experience extreme thermal cycling.

With a melting point above 600°C and a working temperature range from -50°C to +200°C, this sleeve is built to handle the harsh conditions found in automotive engines, exhaust systems, and even racing applications. The combination of lightweight aluminum and heat-resistant fiberglass offers superior heat management without adding significant weight or bulk to the vehicle.

In conclusion, using an aluminum coated fiberglass sleeve in automotive applications provides essential protection from the extreme heat that could otherwise lead to component failure. By reflecting and insulating against radiant and convective heat, it offers a cost-effective and durable solution for enhancing vehicle safety and performance.
