Varglas 240 Silicone Rubber Sleeving
Varglas 240 Silicone Rubber sleevings are produced by coating braided fiberglass with a specially formulated, proprietary silicone rubber that exhibits exceptional high-temperature properties. In addition to its flexibility, toughness and abrasion resistance, Varglas 240 Silicone Rubber sleevings provides superior thermal protection and flame resistance with a higher dielectric capability at less weight than previously available. Its ability to meet a Class 240°C rating, combined with a brittleness temperature of -80°C, makes it an ideal choice for applications that require outstanding physical and electrical insulation properties throughout a wide operating temperature range.
Class: 240 S (-80°C to +240°C) (-112°F to +464°F)
Dielectric Strength Grade: A-1
Specifications
Varglas 240 Silicone Rubber sleevings conforms to and is listed on the qualified products list for, MIL-l-3190/9, latest revision (Grade A); and exceeds the requirements of UL 1441, Table 19.8; NEMA TF-1, Type 5; and ASTM-D372.
​
Under the Component Program of Underwriters Laboratories, Grade A Varglas 240 Silicone Rubber is recognized for 240°C, 600 volt service and complies with VW-1 flammability requirements under UL File #E63450. CSA International certifies the use of Grade A for 240°C, 600 volt service and VW-1 flammability under CSA File #LR58486.
Applications
Varglas 240 Silicone Rubber sleevings are suitable for industrial applications such as motors, generators, transformers and engines; where superior dielectric protection at elevated temperatures of 240°C is critical. In addition to automotive engines, Varglas 240 Silicone Rubber flame resistances and wide-operating temperature ranges make it particularly well suited for aircraft engines and other aerospace applications; where it satisfies electrical and thermal barrier requirements while providing the added benefit of lighter weight.
