Say-FLEX:
braided monofilament sleeving of polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
Typical Properties
-
Lightweight
-
Inert to Most Chemicals
-
Resistant to Fungus
-
Excellent Abrasion
-
Cut-Through Resistance
Features
-
Rated for continuous service from -70C through 125C and will tolerate short-term exposure up to 230C.
-
Shapes to a snug fit producing a compact bundle with a smooth resilient cover, which prevents snagging during installation in cabinets and equipment.
-
Naturally slick allowing it to slide easily and quickly over end fittings and connectors, reducing labor cost. Bundles elements move freely within the sleeve reducing string.
-
Adds minimal weight, bulk and cost to wire harnesses.
-
Stretches and contracts to accommodate irregular shapes and sizes. A single sleeve size can stretch to encase bundles with diameters up to 3x its own I.D.
-
Can be flexed repeatedly without losing its physical properties. Its open braid construction affords ventilation, preventing trapping of heat or moisture.
-
Resist chafing, abrasion, cut-through, flexure-fatigue, and heat degradation.
