F88 SC: Materials

VIGOT® fire sleeves are made of a mineral backing material with a special impregnated coating. This heat protection mesh is harmless and fully meets the requirements of health and safety regulations. The special coating is self-extinguishing and does not contain halogenated flameproof substances.
The coatings are resistant to oil and solvents. They have top mechanical resistance as well as good wear resistance.
Thanks to the extraordinary thickness of the mesh, backing material and coating, the sleeves can reach extremely high levels of short-term resistance to high temperatures, puncturing and heat transfer.
