Silicone Resin
Balances heat resistance, dielectric performance and dimensional stability for transformer leads, power supplies and industrial insulation.
ENGINEERING GUIDE
Fiberglass Sleeving Temperature Rating Guide
A temperature number alone is not enough to qualify electrical fiberglass sleeving. Coating chemistry, continuous and peak exposure, dielectric requirements, bending, fluids and approval standards determine reliable service.
MATERIAL COMPARISON
Match the coating system to the application
Silicone Rubber
Provides flexibility and high-temperature capability for motor leads, harness bends and vibration-prone assemblies.
Acrylic Coating
Supports applications balancing cost, mechanical protection and moderate thermal requirements.
RATING CONTEXT
A 200°C rating does not mean unlimited service at 200°C
Published temperature classes are tied to defined tests. Real assemblies add conductor heating, ambient temperature, thermal cycling, fluids, bending and local hot spots.
Document continuous temperature, peak temperature and duration separately. If sleeving is part of the primary insulation system, confirm dielectric withstand and system requirements independently.

Qualification questions
Can an imported grade be replaced by temperature class alone?
No. Compare coating, dimensions, wall build, dielectric strength, flexibility, flammability and aging.
What should sample validation include?
Include installation, bending, thermal aging, dielectric and end-use environmental tests.
