974 Series | NYMAX
Nylon 6 multifilament yarn braided sleeving
- Braided sleeving produced from Nylon 6 multifilament yarn
- Tightly woven for better coverage
- Extremely flexible protective sleeving
- Softens at about 225°C
- Melts at about 250°C
- Standard color: Black
- Good resistance to acids in weak concentrations and most alkalies
- Generally unaffected by organic solvents
- Nylon is considered to be water repellant, but is actually hygroscopic and will absorb up to 2% moisture content at normal humidity making it more flexible
- Resistance to abrasion and cut-through make it ideal for many industrial and electrical applications.
- Most commonly used over wires, wire bundles and harnesses, cable assemblies, tubing and hoses where it provides a tough, durable protection
- Tight weave construction prevents penetration by foreign objects while maintaining excellent flexibility
- Can be used in marine applications because it is not attacked by mildew
- Commonly used as a sleeve over filter tubes in certain chemical and water filtration units
- Can be used as a base fabric and coated for electrical applications or as a reinforcing fabric in composite construction
