Heat reflector for radiant heat
Our FITCO®Flect is a heat reflector utilized to protect your industrial application from radiant heat. It is a flexible, aluminum-coated fiberglass sleeve which can be tailored individually to safeguard components in high temperature areas. An aluminized thermal protection film is covered with a braided fiberglass sleeve to form a seamless barrier against radiant heat. The flexibility of FITCO®Flect allows it to easily adapt to complex geometric shapes. Our heat reflector sleeve can also be installed afterwards in order to make retrofitting as uncomplicated as possible.
The smooth outer surface of GREMCO’s FITCO®Flect protects components from both extreme radiant heat and abrasion. FITCO®Flect protects cable harnesses, hosing and pipes from the effects of radiant heat.
