HellermannTyton Braided Sleeving
HellermannTyton Braided Sleeving provides protection for hoses, cable assemblies, and wire bundles against abrasion and damage caused by excessive wear and motion. The Braided Sleeving is lightweight and flexible, designed to expand beyond its standard size to accommodate various bundle sizes and shapes. The relatively easy expansion and quick slip-over accommodate a variety of market applications. Braided Sleeving ends can be quickly and easily secured using cable ties, electrical tape, or heat shrink tubing.
The Braided Sleeving covers a range of materials, sizes, colors, and styles-including standard PET, PA66 nylon, flame-retardant, split wrap, and high-temperature products. The sleeving is also resistant to harsh environments such as chemical salts, solvents, de-icing fluids, and petroleum products as well as being resilient against UV light. The orange PET braided sleeving is an extremely flexible, general-purpose option for bundling and protecting wires and cables in abrasive-type applications. Its high-visibility color makes it ideal for systematic color coding of complex wiring installations.

As a kid, getting scrapes and abrasions on your arms from summer blackberry picking was a rite of passage and showed you were tough. Getting abrasions on your machine tool cables, however, may just lead to catastrophe. With HellermannTyton Braided Sleeving products, cable assemblies, hoses, and wire bundles are protected against abrasion and cut-through damage caused by excessive wear and motion. The braided construction allows sleeve expansion for flexibility that fits several bundle sizes and shapes. The RoHS-compliant and halogen-free sleeving material is resistant to harsh environments, adding chemical and UV light protection. High-temperature and flame-retardant materials are also available along with fray-resistant ends for ease of installation in the field. Multiple color options are provided to meet various application needs, including high-visibility orange for safety identification and complex wiring installations.
