TPC Wire & Cable Corp., Macedonia, Ohio, now offers flame and heat protection with its Thermo-Trex Silica Ultra-Sleeve for cables used in steel mills, manufacturing plants, foundries, glass factories and welding & cutting shops.
As an alternative to the Ceramic Ultra-Sleeve, TPC has added the Silica Ultra-Sleeve uses silica fiber that is 96 percent pure, which is a better option to asbestos or ceramic sleeves as none of the negative health effects often associated with those materials exists. The sleeve provides short term temperature resistance up to 3,000°F (1,650°C) while offering outstanding flame resistance, flexibility and tensile strength.
Thermo-Trex Silica Ultra-Sleeve is a braided silica fiber woven into a sleeve that slips over cables running through areas where extreme heat or flame is present or nearby. The sleeve offers protection from continuous operating temperatures up to 1800˚F (982°C). Because it also protects from water, grease and hydraulic oils, the Thermo-Trex Silica Ultra-Sleeve is perfect for cable covers, cable tray protection, welding cable protection, hose protection and protection from abrasion. This sleeving works well in applications such as primary metals operations, refineries, blasting, cast and electric arc furnaces, robotic weld cells, utility power stations, plastic molding plants, fire protection equipment and in the food and beverage and auto industries. Additional inside diameters up to 4 in. are available upon request. TPC can also create custom blankets from the silica material for a specific piece of equipment or cabinet to meet a customer’s needs.
