Expandable Braided Sleeving

Expandable Braided Sleeving Approvals:

UL recognized
CSA approved
MIL-I-631D
RoHS Available

Expandable Braided Sleeving Features:

Good for lightweight, flexible routing
High abrasion and cut-through resistance
Guaranteed rot-free and fungus-proof
Open weave allows for a great range of expansion of the sleeving diameter, thus ensuring ease of installation and gripping action over a wide range of shapes and sizes.
Prevents condensation

Expandable Braided Sleeving Applications:

Expandable sleeving is an ideal protective sleeve for pneumatic hoses, hydraulic lines and highly polished or threaded machine parts.
Wire Bundling and Harnessing
Cut-Resistant Covering For Wire, Cable and Hoses
Jacket for Flat Cable

Expandable Braided Sleeving Properties:

Operational Temperature Range: -70ºC to +125ºC
Physical Properties: Withstands short term exposure to 230ºC
Chemical Properties: Expandable Braided Sleeving is not affected by most chemical environments and common solvents (Freon, detergents, soaps, bleaches and water).
Fungus Resistance: No Growth on expandable braided sleeving
