F88 Fire sleeve - for workplaces exposed to extremely high heat

The wide range of possible applications extends from scientific research to applied technology. Applications in the chemical industry, energy supply and heavy industry as well as automotive and shipbuilding and metallurgy speak for themselves. Furthermore, VIGOT® fire protection hoses are used in the field of rail vehicles up to aerospace technology. They are also used to prevent injuries caused by pipes and hoses filled with hot media in the field of work protection.

F88 Basalt eco fire sleeve

Our brand VIGOT® adds an important innovation to the MAXIMALL® hose systems. This innovation, the new F88 Basalt eco fire sleeve, is made of a natural material and was developed especially for continuous temperature applications at workplaces exposed to extremely high heat, such as blast furnaces. The fire resistance and melting point are consistently very high. Here the SCHAUENBURG Industrietechnik “safety first” principle means concrete added protection for employees at such workplaces.

The F88 Basalt eco fire sleeve is made of braided or knitted basalt fibres with a silicone coating for convincing, outstanding temperature characteristics. It maintains its functionality even at the highest continuous temperature exposure. An extreme temperature range for short-term flame use is also tolerated. The performance remains outstanding even with partial overheating.

The F88 Basalt eco fire protection hose from VIGOT® Schlauchtechnik thus seamlessly joins the series of innovations that SCHAUENBURG Industrietechnik has developed under the premise of "Safety First".

Fabric for F88 Basalt eco: two types

The consistently very high fire resistance of the F88 Basalt eco fire sleeve protects the material, increases the service life and thus meets the high demands of the workplace. We supply the F88 Basalt fire sleeve in various nominal widths and two versions. The basalt mineral fibre fabric has a silicone coating and is produced in two versions, either using knitted or braided fabric.

Assembling and mats

In addition to fire protection hoses that are assembled during the fabrication process, products are also available for later installation. SCHAUENBURG Industrietechnik offers various closure types for this purpose. We also supply heat protection mats under the VIGOT® brand. We supply these as roll material and also, for example, as an aluminum-laminated heat protection mat with snap fasteners.

F88 fire sleeve in different versions

The VIGOT® fire sleeve is available in different versions. Type F88 SC as an extruded sleeve has a silicone coating. This type is also available as the elastic F88 SC Flex, a hose with a flexible fabric construction for long casings, and as an open casing with various closure strips for subsequent installation.

The coatings of the F88 SC fire protection sleeve are oil and solvent-resistant. They exhibit good abrasion resistance and stand up to high mechanical stresses. The F88 fire sleeve has been fire protection tested and certified, among other things by Germanischer Llyod, and meets the provisions and requirements for railway engineering.
