About Sleeving

Abrasion-Resistant Sleeving
Tightly braided fibers give this sleeving excellent abrasion resistance. As it wears, the fibers frizz and make the outer wall thicker for improved protection. The interior is smooth to reduce snags during installation. It meets Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) standards for fire protection in mines. 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.
Nylon sleeving is thicker than polyester sleeving, so it withstands contact with rougher surfaces. However, it can’t handle temperatures as high.
Polyester sleeving handles higher temperatures than nylon sleeving. However, it gets more damaged on rough surfaces.

Silica High-Temperature Sleeving
Made of silica, this sleeving can withstand higher temperatures than fiberglass. It resists open flame and molten metal splash, so it’s a good choice for welding applications. It also withstands oil and gasoline. 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.

No-Irritation Ceramic High-Temperature Sleeving
Unlike fiberglass and silica, this sleeving won't irritate skin, so it’s easier to handle. It withstands open flame and molten metal splash, making it a good choice for welding applications. The ceramic fabric also resists acids, alkalies, alcohol, solvents, oil, and gasoline. 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. It meets MIL-I-24244 for material quality.

Fiberglass High-Temperature Sleeving
This sleeving withstands temperatures over 1000° F, such as in refineries. Made of fiberglass, it resists acids, alkalies, oil, and solvents so it won’t degrade when exposed to substances such as grease, ammonia, or harsh detergents. 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.
Acrylic-coated sleeving is heat treated and has good abrasion and chemical resistance. It’s more rigid and fray resistant than uncoated fiberglass sleeving.
Tightly braided sleeving is more fray resistant than other uncoated fiberglass sleeving.

Aramid High-Temperature Sleeving
A blend of Aramid and fiberglass gives this sleeving excellent abrasion resistance, as well as resistance to acids and alkalies. It can withstand temperatures up to 650° F. 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.

Heat-Reflective Sleeving
Protect wire, cable, and hose from heat radiating off hot objects, such as molten metal. Coated in aluminized PET plastic, also known as Mylar, this sleeving reflects most heat without letting it pass through, so it can handle intermittent radiant heat up to 2000° F. The liner is a blend of aramid and Kevlar that withstands continuous temperatures up to 650° F. This sleeving is stitched together with PTFE-coated silica fiberglass threads, which are just as heat resistant as the sleeving. It doesn’t stretch, so it’s best to know the exact diameter of the items you’re protecting.
Refrigerant-Resistant Sleeving
Coated in acrylic, this sleeving holds up to rapid temperature changes, and it won’t break down from refrigerants, solvents, oil, or lubricants. Also known as hermetic sleeving, it’s designed to protect wires and hose inside air-tight motors, such as those used in air conditioners. It’s made from strong and flexible fiberglass fabric, so you can bend it into tight spaces. 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. It’s compatible with potting compounds and varnishes.
Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown. The higher the dielectric strength of a material, the better it is for preventing electricity, heat, or signal from dissipating from wire and cable.
