Temp: -60°C to +240°C, strong mechanical protection, oil and water repellent, light weight for mil and aerospace applications
Expando HTNS-L/HO is a thin wall braided sleeve manufactured from the metaaramid Nomex®. Its highly expandable structure allows easy installation over long lengths even after the fitting of end connectors with a limited range of product sizes. Expando HTNS-L/HO’s flexible, expandable and non-flammable properties ensure excellent performance in the most diverse and aggressive environments. The product is designed for the protection of wire and cable bundles against flame, high temperatures, and mechanical abrasion. The properties of Expando HTNS-L/HO ensure excellent resistance to gamma and x-rays. Expando HTNS-L/HO has a water repellent treatment (HO) to reduce humidity absorption and to improve permeability to fluids. Expando HTNS-L/HO has various applications in the military, marine and aeronautical industries. Expando products are tough, lightweight oversleeves used to protect cable assemblies, hoses and wire harnesses from chafing, cutting and abrading. The open-braid construction of Expando products enables each size to expand to fit several application shapes and diameters. This open-textile construction also makes them highly flexible and resistant to trapping water, heat and humidity
