Insulation up to 1200°C (Synthetic-Braided)
| Type of Material | Continuous Temp. °C | Intermitted Temp. °C | Note: |
| Ceramic fiber | 1200 | 1430 | The braided yarn is a composition of the oxides of alumina, boric and silicone. |
| Ceramic + Ceramic fiber | 1200 | 1430 | The mica tape protects against potential shorting from the black carbon residue which forms when the product is used in applications where the air supply is limited, such as thermocouples in protection tubes. |
| Refrasil fiber | 800 | 1000 | Because saturant is not used, this product is not recommended for abrasive applications. |
| Synthetic fiber | 300 | 350 | Tough, heavy insulation for use where abrasion resistance on braided insulation is required. |
 |  |
Insulation up to 800°C (Fiberglass-Braided)
| Type of Material | Continuous Temp. °C | Intermitted Temp. °C | Note: |
| Fiberglass | 480 | 550 | A color-coded fiberglass braid saturated with a high-performance resin is used for insulation |
| High-Temp. glass | 650 | 800 | A high-temperature, high tensile strength fiberglassimpregnated with a 200°C modified resin saturant |
| High Temp. glass | 650 | 800 | This product construction does not include an overall jacket. |
