954 Series | Flex-Guard H
Braided Halar™ (E-CTFE) monofilament sleeving
- Braided sleeving produced from Halar® Fluoropolymer (E-CTFE) monofilament
- Halar™ is rated for use up to 150°C
- Meets FAR 29.853/FAR 25.853 requirements
- Tough yet lightweight protective sleeving
- Will not support combustion in air when placed in direct exposure to a flame
- Standard colors: Black with white spiral tracer strands or White with black spiral tracer strands
- Also available in tight weave construction
- Demonstrates excellent chemical and fungus resistance
- Resistance to abrasion and cut-through make it ideal for many industrial and electrical applications.
- Passes most tests for low flammability, limited flame travel and self-extinguishing requirements
- Open weave construction allows expansion above or below original diameter
- Good flexibility at low temperatures allowing easy flexing in any direction
- Can neatly capture a number of different sized items within one length
- Most commonly used over wires, wire bundles and harnesses, cable assemblies, flat ribbon cable, tubing and hoses where it provides a tough, durable protection
- Open weave construction allows for complete drainage, prevents condensation and provides for dissipation of heat and moisture
- Ideal for application in machine tools, automatic equipment and robotics where wires and tubes are often required to flex freely during operating cycles
- Suitable for exposure to all weather conditions.
