About Atlantex Manufacturing
Atlantex Manufacturing Systems Protection Solutions
Atlantex Manufacturing Corporation, based in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, is a full-service manufacturer of systems protection solutions specializing in fire protection, thermal insulation, abrasion resistance, and cable management for demanding industrial, automotive, aerospace, and defense applications. ISO 9001 certified with deep expertise in advanced materials, Atlantex delivers customized solutions engineered for extreme heat, flame, and mechanical stress environments.
Pyrotex Firesleeve is Atlantex's flagship product—a proven fire protection sleeve that withstands direct flame, intense radiant heat, and molten metal splash. Pyrotex endures continuous exposure up to 500°F and can withstand catastrophic molten metal splash events reaching 2200°F, making it essential for automotive underbody protection, aerospace hydraulic lines, industrial furnace piping, and military vehicle applications where thermal runaway is a life-safety concern.
Pyrotherm Thermal Insulation, manufactured with E-glass fibers, sustains continuous temperatures up to 1000°F and is designed for high-temperature pipe insulation, exhaust shielding, and equipment protection in power plants, steel mills, and petrochemical facilities. Tufftex Woven Abrasion Sleeve protects hoses, cables, and wires from cut-through, chafing, and wear—built from high-tenacity multi-filament nylon woven into flexible tubing, ideal for high-vibration environments like automotive engine bays and industrial machinery.
Para-Tex protective sleeving guards critical hoses, tubing, wires, and cables from thermal hazards, abrasion, and cut-through using DuPont Kevlar para-aramid fiber, providing unmatched durability in extreme environments. ReflectTherm heat shielding minimizes thermal transfer and radiative losses, maintaining peak operating efficiency and prolonging the life of adjacent components in high-temperature industrial and automotive applications.
ChatMRO streamlines your sourcing of Atlantex systems protection products by letting you describe your thermal or mechanical hazard—fire exposure, continuous temperature, abrasion environment, hose/cable size—then instantly matching the right Atlantex sleeve type, thickness, and specification from the full product portfolio, including custom diameters and lengths for your specific application.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between Pyrotex and Pyrotherm sleeves?
Pyrotex is engineered for flame and molten splash protection, stopping catastrophic thermal events and maintaining structural integrity up to 500°F continuous—ideal for fuel lines, brake lines, and short-duration high-heat zones. Pyrotherm is designed for sustained high-temperature insulation up to 1000°F, minimizing heat transfer and radiative losses in piping insulation and furnace applications. Choose Pyrotex for flame/splash prevention, Pyrotherm for long-term thermal barrier performance.
Can Atlantex sleeves protect hoses and cables from abrasion and thermal hazards at the same time?
Yes—Para-Tex Kevlar sleeving delivers combined thermal (heat/flame) and mechanical (abrasion/cut) protection in a single product, ideal for automotive engine bay hoses, aerospace wire bundles, and industrial applications where hoses experience both vibration and thermal stress. For maximum protection, you can layer a Pyrotex or Pyrotherm sleeve over Para-Tex to add fire resistance and temperature rating to an abrasion-resistant base.
How do I measure and order the correct sleeve size for my hoses and cables?
Measure your hose or cable's outer diameter and add roughly 0.25-0.5" for comfort fit—Atlantex sleeves are offered in 1/2" to 3" and larger diameters in 0.5" increments. For bundled cables, measure the bundle's circumference and divide by pi (3.14) to get effective diameter. Order by sleeve inner diameter (ID) to slide fit over your hose; if unsure, request a sample or contact the supplier for fit verification before ordering bulk quantities.
Are Atlantex sleeves field-installable or do they require professional application?
Most Atlantex sleeves are field-installable—Pyrotex and Pyrotherm can be slid over hoses and cables in-place and secured with adhesive, cable ties, or hose clamps at intervals. For complex bundled routing or aerospace applications, consult Atlantex or your installer for application methods and spacing requirements to ensure maximum protection. Para-Tex Kevlar sleeves may require careful handling due to the fiber's characteristics, so follow installation guidelines provided with your order.
What compliance and certification standards do Atlantex products meet?
Atlantex products comply with automotive, aerospace, and industrial standards including FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) for thermal protection, military MIL-SPEC for defense applications, and ISO 9001 quality certification. Specific products may carry UL, SAE, or customer-specific approvals—request documentation for your application's regulatory requirements before ordering to ensure compliance.
