Plasmit is a device used to protect torches from reflected heat and external wear. Many plasma systems are used in very demanding environments, where heat, slag and rough usage cause premature torch failure. Using Plasmit can significantly increase the life of plasma torches used in heavy cutting and gouging applications. Benefits: Protection from radiant heat and metal splash: Plasmit material can withstand continuous exposure of 500°F (260°C) and molten metal splash of 3000°F (1650°C). Electrical insulation: Plasmit is an insulator, further protecting the plasma torch from a short circuit through the side of the torch body. Physical Protection: Silicone rubber coating reduces damage caused by rough handling and general usage. Safety: Plasma cutting systems operate at relatively high voltage, and failures can be quite drastic. Operator safety is enhanced by keeping the torch in good condition. Specifications:Aviation Grade white braided glass yarn, woven to produce a hollow sleeve, coated with silicone rubber. Assembled with high temperature glass thread. Edges reinforced with leather.
