Braided Sleeving

HellermannTyton braided sleeving products provide abrasion and damage protection for hoses, cable assemblies and wire bundles. Braided sleeving products are made in a variety of materials including general purpose polyester, PA66 nylon, flame retardant, fray resistant, high temperature and materials that provide electromagnetic protection.

Available in non-expandable, expandable, split wrap and hook and loop styles, HellermannTyton offers a braided sleeving option for every application. Many sleeving products are also resistant to harsh environments such as chemicals, salts, solvents, de-icing fluids and petroleum products as well as being resilient against UV light. The unique physical weave of braided sleeving makes it flexible but provides enough airflow as to not trap moisture or humidity. Expandable braided sleeving products are designed to expand beyond their nominal size to fit varying bundle sizes and shapes.

Most braided sleeving products are designed to be cut with a hot knife, which sears the edges and reduces the amount of fraying that occurs during the lifetime of the product. For applications that do not allow access to a hot knife, fray resistant versions are available that can be cut with ordinary scissors with minimal fraying. Ends are easily secured with cable ties, electrical tape or heat shrink materials.
