Expandable Polyester Monofilament Sleeving (-70° to
+125°C)
Expandable
Halar® Monofilament Sleeving (-70°C to +150°C)
Description
Varspan
expandable monofilament sleevings are designed to provide mechanical
protection to wires, cables, harnesses, hydraulic lines, tubes, hoses,
etc., as well as to components of both regular and irregular shapes. Their
ability to expand to two or three times their original ID allows for ease
of application and their “open-weave” braid construction, which will not
trap heat or moisture, results in a cost-effective bulk/weight
ratio.
Varspan is available as an expandable polyester monofilament
sleeving, in three types, or as an expandable Halar® E-CTFE (ethylene
chlorotrifluoro ethylene) monofilament sleeving.
Varspan Sleeving made with expandable polyester-monofilaments is offered in both general purpose (Varspan GP) and flame-retardant (Varspan FR) yarns. The general purpose version of Varspan is also available in heavy duty (Varspan HD) which is braided with a thicker .015” polyester-monofilament strand for applications where additional abrasion and cut- through protection are required. All exhibit good mechanical, chemical, and thermal stability in a temperature range of -70°C to +125°C.
Varspan
Sleeving made with expandable Halar® monofilaments is offered as
Varspan HT. In addition to being flame retardant, Varspan HT
(Halar®) offers superior resistance to most solvents, acids and bases and
can be used in higher operating temperatures (-70°C to +150°C) than
Varspan GP, FR and HD sleevings.
Cut with a hot-blade device
for frayless ends or turn ends inward.
Applications
All Varspan Sleeings are suitable for military,
industrial, marine, aeronautical, transportation, electronic and
manufacturing applications where mechanical protection and resistance to
chemicals, jet fuel, diesel fuel, gasoline, lubricating oils, solvents,
hydraulic fluids, water and salt water are prerequisites and flexibility
through a wide- operating temperature range is desired.
Varspan FR offers a higher degree of flame retardation required for special applications.
Varspan HT (Halar®), in addition to flame retardation and its suitability for use at higher operating temperatures than the other Varspan sleevings, is recommended for use where the sleeving may be exposed to harsher chemicals and more severe environments.
