Heat and Fire Protection in High-Temperature Environments

In industrial sectors such as foundries, metal casting, and glass manufacturing, cables, hydraulic lines, and hose assemblies are exposed to extreme temperatures. Effective heat and fire protection is therefore indispensable to ensure the safety and durability of these components.

Challenges in High-Temperature Environments

Conditions in high-temperature industries place extreme demands on technical components. Lines and cables are often subjected to:

• Radiant heat exceeding 1000 °C,
• Flying sparks and molten metal splashes,
• Mechanical and chemical impacts, such as exposure to hydraulic fluids or lubricants.

Without suitable protective measures, these factors can lead to material failure, costly production downtime, and increased safety risks.
