Basalt Fiber Knitted Sleeve

Basalt Fiber Knitted Sleeve, composed of high-quality fibers, can endure continuous temperatures up to 760ª . It offers stellar heat resistance, chemical stability, and strength, providing thermal protection for various exhaust systems in automotive, maritime, and heavy machinery. Its flexible and adaptable nature facilitates easy installation over irregular surfaces, while its knitted design enhances fray resistance and manageability, ensuring protection for hoses, tubes, pipes, and cables against extreme heat and fire hazards.

High Temperature Resistance

Basalt fiber has a higher melting point than glass fiber, making it more resistant to high temperatures. Basalt fiber can withstand temperatures up to 1000° C, while glass fiber typically has a lower temperature resistance of around 450-500° C. This makes basalt fiber ideal for applications where high-temperature resistance is critical, such as in the automotive and aerospace industries.

Strength and Stiffness

Basalt fiber is known for its excellent strength and stiffness properties, which are comparable to or even superior to those of glass fiber. Basalt fibers have a high tensile strength and modulus of elasticity, making them suitable for structural applications where high strength-to-weight ratio is important.

Chemical Resistance

Basalt fiber exhibits better resistance to acidic and alkaline environments compared to glass fiber. This characteristic makes basalt fiber suitable for applications where exposure to harsh chemicals is a concern, such as in marine and chemical processing industries.

Environmental Sustainability

Basalt fiber is considered a more environmentally friendly alternative to glass fiber. The production of basalt fiber requires less energy and resources compared to glass fiber manufacturing. Additionally, basalt fiber is non-toxic and recyclable, contributing to its eco-friendly profile.
