Textile braided sleeves, our guide to choosing the right product
Our two types of textile braided sleeving to suit your needs and environmental conditions
Polyamide braided sheath: Sturdiness and protection
The polyamide braided sleeves are renowned for their exceptional resistance to abrasion and chemicals. The polyamide offers excellent mechanical strength, making it an ideal choice for demanding industrial environments. The braided sleeves are flexible, lightweight and can withstand high temperatures, ensuring reliable cable protection in diverse applications such as the automotive industry, industrial machinery or electronic equipment.
Polypropylene sheath: lightweight and environmentally resistant
The braided sleeving also known as polypropylene sheathoffer a unique combination of lightness and chemical resistance. The polypropylene is inherently resistant to chemical attack, making it an ideal choice for environments exposed to corrosive substances.
The polypropylene sheath is also known for its low moisture absorption, ensuring consistent performance even in humid conditions. Their main applications include marine applications, assemblies with PTFE hoses, the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, and ATEX zones.
Polyamide braided sleeving and polypropylene braided sleeving: common characteristics
Both polyamide braided sleeving and polypropylene share certain essential characteristics. Their braided structure provides effective protection while allowing sufficient flexibility for installation around cables of different sizes and shapes. These braided sleeves are also reusable, facilitating subsequent modifications and repairs.
Braided sleeves: How to make the right choice?
The choice between polyamide braided sleeves and the polypropylene braided sleeving depends on the specific requirements of the application. If greater mechanical strength is required polyamide may be preferred. On the other hand, for optimum chemical resistance polypropylene may be more appropriate. It's crucial to consider the environmental conditions and specific constraints of the application when choosing a braided sleeving. For more information, please contact Tressages du Dorlay!
