Slippery High-Temperature Plastic Trim
This trim withstands temperatures up to 500° F, which is generally twice as high as our other slippery trim. Made of PTFE, it has a slippery surface to minimize friction between parts and is often used on conveyor rails, chutes, and guides. It's also chemical resistant. This trim has a hard or medium-hard rating to withstand high levels of impact. The harder the trim, the more impact it withstands. All of the trim is nonmarking.
Flexible trim can be bent along a gradual curve. Very flexible trim can be bent around tight corners.
Screw-in trim requires drilling mounting holes and securing it with fasteners. It can be used outdoors.
Push-on trim fits onto an edge and it grips on three sides for a tight hold. It can be used outdoors.
Adhesive-back trim allows for easy installation. It is not for use outdoors.

High-Temperature Expandable Sleeving
Protect cable, hose, and pipe from abrasion and cuts in high temperature environments—this sleeving withstands temperatures over 450° F. It expands to fit over items for easy installation; sleeving then tightens around its contents for a secure fit. The braided construction permits heat and moisture to dissipate.
PTFE and PEEK sleeving withstand chemicals and salt water, so they can be used in extreme environments where cable and hose need protection from harsh fluids, such as in chemical plants and in oil and gas production. It has better abrasion and tear resistance than fiberglass sleeving. PTFE sleeving also withstands acids and solvents. PEEK is lighter in weight than PTFE, and more cost efficient.
High-Temperature Tube Sleeving
Use this sleeving in applications where temperatures reach up to 500° F. Made of PTFE, it resists chemicals, acids, and solvents. It meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance. Due to its small size and flexibility, it’s also known as spaghetti tubing. Because this sleeving is non-expandable, it does not stretch, so it’s best for applications where you know the exact diameter of the items you need to protect.
