    About Wire Sleeving
    industrial info icon

    Select the right sleeving to protect your wires against heat, abrasion, corrosion, and impact.

    Abrasion-Resistant Wire Sleeving

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Sleeving. Abrasion-Resistant Wire 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.
    Polyester Fabric—Polyester sleeving handles higher temperatures than nylon sleeving. However, it gets more damaged on rough surfaces.
    Nylon Fabric—Nylon fabric sleeving is thicker than polyester fabric sleeving, so it withstands contact with rougher surfaces. However, it can’t handle temperatures as high.

    Fiberglass High-Temperature Wire 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.

    High-Strength Wire Sleeving

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Sleeving. High-Strength Wire Sleeving.
    This sleeving has excellent tear resistance and better abrasion resistance than standard polyester sleeving. Made of Nomex fabric, it resists most acids and alkalies, alcohol, hydraulic fluid, oil, gasoline, salt water, and solvents. It won’t irritate skin like fiberglass, so it’s easier to handle. 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 Wire 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.

    Heat-Reflecting Wire Sleeving

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Sleeving. Heat-Reflecting Wire Sleeving.
    Protect wire, cable, and hose from heat radiating off hot objects, such as molten metal. Coated in aluminized PET, 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 Wire 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—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.
