Vidaflex® Monofil PE 3.0mm Bore PET Expandable Braid - Grey

  Vidaflex® Monofil PE 3.0mm Bore PET Expandable Braid - Grey

• Good retention of roundness

• Very good mechanical strength

• Excellent resistance to salt water, oil, fuels and solvents

 Vidalfex® Monofil PE is an expandable close weave sleeving, produced from braided PET monofilaments. The bore of Vidaflex® Monofil PE sleevings are expandable up to 300% and the particular advantage is the good retention of roundness.

 Vidaflex® Monofil PE sleevings offer very good mechanical strength and also provide excellent resistance to salt water, oil, fuels and solvents. It is self-extinguishing and operates at temperatures within the range of – 70°C to +150°C.

Vidaflex® Monofil PE is used in motor vehicles for protection of hydraulic hoses, tubing and wiring harnesses and all other applications, especially where cables are connected to moving parts and are and are constantly flexed.

The open weave of the sleeving allows branch terminations through the sleeve wall, which greatly speeds up the manufacturing process.

The material should be cut using a hot wire in excess of 250°C. This method bonds the ends of the monofilaments and prevents fraying.
