DualShield™ Dual Layer Heavy Duty Firesleeve
DualShield™ Firesleeve (sometimes spelled fire sleeve or fire-sleeve) is a dual layer of firesleeve. The first sleeve is overbraided with another layer of full coverage fiberglass that is also silcione rubber coated, This dual layer firesleeve offers the highest level of protection of any firesleeve against flame exposure, fire, molten metal and glass, slag and sparks.
The dual layer sleeve is available with any standard color as the inner sleeve and any standard color as the outer cover..The most popular colors are oxide-red and black.
Normally supplied in 50 & 100 foot lengths, but custom by-the-foot lengths are also available.
Firesleeve with VELCRO® Brand Hook & Loop Closure
Available in two styles: HiFlex and LoFlex. HiFlex is manufactured from braided Heavy Duty Firesleeve, and LoFlex is manufactured from woven base 98oz/sq-ft fabric. Meets 14 CFR 25.869(a)(4); Appendix F, Part 1(b)(7) (60-degree flammability Test).
The HiFlex silicone coating and underlying braid fiberglass is flexible, allowing for easy placement on curved lines and for installations requiring high flexibility and motion. The LoFlex is a stiffer material, providing slightly more protection than the HiFlex product due to the silicone having a high durometer.
Firesleeve with Metal Snap Closure

Firesleeve Accessories: End Cut Liquid Dip & Paste Sealant, Clamps & Tools, End Wrap Tape
Protecting and sealing the cut ends of firesleeve from wicking liquids and contaminants
SleeveSeal™
SleeveSeal™ high temperature sealant paste is our special formulation of high-temperature silicone rubber, packaged into a convenient 3oz squeeze tube or 10.3oz caulking tube, for use on mechanical joints; anywhere a high-temperature adhesive/sealant is required. 2 grades: +260°C and +300°C continuous.
Seal-Dip™ is a special formulation of our high-temperature silicone rubber which is a liquid until exposed to air, when it cures rapidly into a flexible protective covering of silicone rubber. Perfect for protecting the ends of sleeve and tape from fraying, or from contamination, and from wicking liquids such as water, oil, hydraulic fluid, etc. Usually used as a dip for sleeve and rope. Non corrosive and meets Mil-A-46146 as per NAVAIR 01-1A-20.
SleeveSeal End Wrap Tape
This high temperature, heat and flame resistant silicone rubber end wrap tape is the perfect choice for sealing the ends of firesleeve, thereby preventing the firesleeve from wicking liquids such as water, oil or hydraulic fluid. This silicone tape can also be used to help secure other types of fiberglass and silica tapes over wires, cables, hoses, tube and pipe..
The tape has a blue stripe running down the centre as an aid to performing a standard 50% overlap when wrapping the tape around Sleeve, hoses and cables.
End-wrap silicone rubber tape is self bonding to itself and other silicone rubber sleeve and tape, providing a waterproof/air tight end to the installation of firesleeve sleeve over hoses and cables. This tape is available in 1" and 1 1/2" widths (25 & 37mm), with 36 feet of tape per roll. The tape is mounted on a backing film for easy unwinding. Also available meeting specification A-A-59163 / Mil-I-46852 and Mil-I-22444.

Firesleeve Finishing Techniques Videos
How to trim firesleeve and seal the ends in order to protect the sleeve from contamination and absorbing liquids.
Liquid silicone dip and paste can be used to seal the cut ends, and then end wrap tape can provide a further barrier to liquid absorption and contamination.
Careful consideration should be given especially in circumstances where open ends of the sleeve may be exposed to hydrocarbons such as fuels and lubricants, as at elevated temperatures they may pose an ignition hazard. The internal fiberglass substrate of the firesleeve will wick liquids if not sealed.
