ADL Insulflex sleeves
Insulating and Protective Sleeves
Beyond Pyrojacket, Insulflex makes sleeves for every heat and wear problem – thick insulating sleeves that protect people from hot pipes, reflective sleeves for radiant heat, silica sleeves for extreme temperatures, and tough woven sleeves against abrasion and hydraulic spray-out.

Why Insulflex sleeves
The Right Sleeve for the Hazard
Protect People
Cool Blue cuts burns from hot hoses and pipes and reduces heat loss.
Turn Back Radiant Heat
Pyreflect and Fiberflect sleeves reflect heat instead of absorbing it.
Extreme Heat
Silicaflex – 96% pure silica – is a health-conscious alternative to asbestos and ceramic sleeves.
Abrasion and Spray-Out
Flexgard and braided monofilament sleeves protect hoses and operators.
