Sleeving Types and Applications

Sleeving in wire and cable applications protects the cable and makes organizing and insulation easier. It is coated with different materials to meet thermal and dielectric requirements. Sleeving is cost efficient and obviates the need to heat or shrink the product. It is also a great way to make wire and cable look more attractive.

Polyester Expandable Sleeving

Polyester expandable sleeving is both flexible and sturdy. It is ideal to protect your wire from the harsh environment of industrial and marine applications.

Expandable Braided Sleeving

Expandable braided sleeving is lightweight and can easily fit wire with different shapes and sizes because of its braided build. It protects cable from rot and fungus by preventing condensation.

Flame-Retardant Expandable Sleeving

Flame retardant braided sleeving is easy to install and best suited for applications that require protection from high abrasion. It works well as a protective sleeve for pneumatic hoses and hydraulic lines and works as an ideal jacket for flat cable.

Fiberglass Sleeving

Fiberglass sleeving may not be as flexible in its expansion as polyester sleeving, but is perfect for protecting cables from high temperature applications. It is also highly resistant to acids and solvents. It is commonly used in radio circuits and transformers.
