FITCOFlect©: Thermoreflective Fiberglass Tubing

In modern high-temperature applications, effective protective solutions are essential to ensure the longevity and efficiency of components. With FITCOFlect©, an innovative thermoreflective fiberglass tubing, GREMCO offers a high-performance solution designed specifically for extreme conditions.

Maximum Protection Against Radiant Heat

FITCOFlect© is made from flexible, braided fiberglass tubing coated with aluminized heat-sealed foil. This advanced construction forms a seamless and highly efficient barrier against radiant heat, supporting an operating temperature range from -40 °C to 200 °C. The tubing can also handle short-term exposures of up to 260 °C. However, detailed stress testing and specific operating parameters should be consulted for continuous use.

Flexibility and Versatility

FITCOFlect© tubing easily conforms to complex geometries and component designs thanks to its flexible structure. This makes installation simple and makes it an excellent choice for protecting wiring harnesses, hoses, and pipes in demanding applications such as the automotive, aerospace, and heavy industries.

Exceptional Durability and Protection

In addition to heat protection, FITCOFlect© tubing offers superior abrasion resistance and resilience against fluids like brake fluid, fuel, and other chemicals. Its smooth outer surface minimizes wear caused by friction, which is especially advantageous in dynamic applications. The aluminized coating effectively reflects radiant heat, significantly reducing heat transfer to the protected components.
