Expandable braided sleeving

Series

HFGE

Expandable braided sleeving is used to protect electrical cables. It is widely used in industry and in the automotive sector and, in the HF version in particular, in the rail and tramway sector.

This version is produced from a material whose formulation is free of halogens and cadmium, making it a LOW SMOKE and ZERO HALOGEN product. The formulation was developed specifically to pass technical specifications UNI CEI 11170-3 and EN 45545-2:2015.

Under longitudinal compression the sleeving expands to up to twice its nominal diameter at rest.
