Custom fabric solutions

Bespoke products designed to protect shafts, cylinders and machinery from wear and contamination.

Why Choose PAR Group?

Metal casting and foundry work generate extreme localised heat and metal splash that most standard materials simply can't withstand, which is why most of our popular products for this sector are heat-specific by design: silicone-coated sleeving, iron-oxide-treated glass fibre, and EPDM hose pre-treated with self-extinguishing rubber. Where standard products won't cope, our team can also advise on custom-made sewn bellows and bespoke heat shielding manufactured to your machinery drawings.
