Heat protection for thermal insulation
In order to realize the full potential of your application, GREMCO’s heat protection products for thermal insulation are perfectly tailored to your individual use. That is why our protection products for thermal insulation are specially adapted to your requirements and specifications. GREMCO’s FITCO®Therm consists of heat-resistant glass fibers, which are coated with high-quality acrylic and/or silicone. The proportion of acrylic/silicone varies depending on the requirements.
GREMCO’s FITCO®Therm ensures that no heat escapes from the inside to the outside and, in turn, that the desired area remains protected. A wide range of the heat protection tubing applications are offered, such as exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) in motor vehicles and contact protection in general industry.
GREMCO’s FITCO®Therm tubing is made of braided glass fibers with a special coating that lends the product rigidity and reduces the likelihood of fraying at the ends. The stiff coating also results in a hose that is easy to install over long lengths and is resistant to mechanical abrasion. In addition, FITCO®Therm hosing can withstand continuous heat up to 537°C / 1000°F and provides excellent heat protection for hoses, harnesses, wires and cables.
GREMCO’s FITCO®Therm is available in a variety of styles and, thereby, offers industrial users the ability to select the most appropriate combination of properties for their specific application.
