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, and as a potting compound, 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.
