At SteinMetal, we specialize in supplying mica tubes made from phlogopite and muscovite, known for their excellent thermal resistance and dielectric properties. Our tubes provide electrical and thermal insulation solutions for industrial applications requiring high reliability and performance. Additionally, our fire-resistant sleeves —made from fiberglass/Kevlar® with silicone coating— protect hoses, cables, and pipes against continuous temperatures up to 900 °C and molten metal splashes up to 1650 °C, complying with ISO 15541, EN 45545-2, and NFPA 70 standards.
