  • Product Description
    TST/TSX is a high temperature resistant, multifilament pure silica fibre (>99,8%) braided sleeving. It has a continuous working temperature of –60°C to +950°C.

    TST sleeve is heat-treated to remove organic content. This heat treatment confers excellent thermal properties to the sleeving, thus offering an excellent thermal barrier against heat, fire, molten metal splashes and other projections.

    The TSX sleeve has an additional impregnation disappearing above +300°C which prevents end fray and skin irritation when cut.

    TST/TSX are both fireproof and radiation-proof.

    TST/TSX are mainly used in the aircraft, railway, iron and steel, off-shore and nuclear industries.
