Basalt sleeve type ETS-K

The sleeve type ETS-K is produced of basalt yarn resistant to high temperatures with temperature strength up to 700°C. Basalt, as opposed to ceramic fibres, is not subject to any hygienic restrictions. Used fibres are characterized by a perfect thermal stability and keep their original structure to the amount of the maximum temperature of use. An additional advantage is the lack of any metallic inclusions, which enables using for insulation e.g. of live ducts and a very low weight loss after ignition. Basalt sleeves are an excellent material for thermal insulation of hot elements in various types of industrial systems. Sleeves with the diameters to 50 mm are produced on braiding machines, while larger diameters - on special looms for multi-layer fabrics, which gives an excellent material density even at diameters in the range of 500 mm. The main area of application is thermal insulation of pipes, heaters and ducts with maximum operating temperature stated in the table below.
