DESCRIPTION

Impregnated with silicone varnish, this sleeving is ideal for thermal and electrical insulation applications where high operating temperatures exist. It’s a highly flexible braided glass sleeve that is ideal for use where low fire hazard properties are required, particularly in mass transit and underground applications.

Please note: Care should be taken to minimise dust formation during handling and cutting this glass based material as dust or broken particles may cause skin irritation.

APPLICATIONS

Harnessing
Electrical insulation
Rail harnesses – EN45545 Approved
High temperature protection
Rail tunnel applications
