Kevlar Braided Sleeving

Product Description

Kevlar Braided Sleeving is a premium protective solution designed for cables, hoses, and sensitive components operating in extreme environments. Manufactured from high-strength Kevlar fibers, the GD-KLB series sleeving delivers exceptional abrasion resistance, tensile strength, and thermal stability. Its braided structure ensures flexibility and ease of installation while maintaining lightweight construction. With operating temperature tolerance from -170℃ to +250℃, excellent chemical resistance, and UL94 V0, VW-1 flame retardant rating, Kevlar Braided Sleeving is the preferred choice for aerospace, military, automotive, and high-tech applications where reliability and durability are critical.

Key Features

• Premium Kevlar Fiber Construction:
  Made from DuPont Kevlar fibers, known for their extraordinary tensile strength (over 3,600 MPa) and low elongation, ensuring robust protection in high-stress environments.
  
  

• Superior Abrasion Resistance:
  Kevlar’s unique para-aramid structure provides 5x the abrasion resistance of steel on an equal weight basis, shielding cables and hoses from friction damage.
  
  

• High Temperature Tolerance:
  With an operating range of -170℃ to +250℃, Kevlar Braided Sleeving remains stable in extreme hot or cold environments, preventing thermal degradation of protected components.
  
  

• Outstanding Chemical Stability:
  Resistant to most organic solvents, fuels, lubricants, and mild acids/alkalis, making it ideal for use in chemically aggressive environments.
  
  

• Electrical Insulation:
  Kevlar fibers exhibit excellent dielectric strength, adding a layer of electrical protection for wires and sensitive electronics.
  
  

• Lightweight & Flexible:
  Despite its strength, Kevlar Braided Sleeving is lightweight and easy to handle, maintaining flexibility for routing around tight spaces or irregularly shaped components.
  
  

• Flame Retardant:
  Certified to UL94 V0 and VW-1 flame resistance standards, ensuring safety in high-risk applications such as aerospace and defense.

Advantages

• Maximum Protection: Safeguards wires, hoses, and cables from cuts, abrasions, impacts, and thermal damage.

• Extended Service Life: Reduces maintenance and replacement costs by significantly increasing component durability.

• Professional Finish: Provides a clean, organized, and aesthetically pleasing appearance for wiring harnesses and assemblies.

• Versatile Use: Suitable for mechanical, thermal, and electrical protection across multiple industries.

• Eco-Friendly & Safe: Complies with RoHS regulations and resists degradation by common chemicals, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Applications

• Electronics & Electrical Wiring: Protection of cables and wires inside devices and control systems.

• Automotive Industry: Ideal for protecting hoses and wiring in engine compartments, exposed to heat, oil, and vibration.

• Aerospace & Aviation: Ensures reliability in aircraft wiring harnesses and equipment subject to high mechanical and thermal stress.

• Industrial Equipment: Shields cables and hoses in heavy machinery and high-friction environments.

• Military & Defense: Used in mission-critical applications where strength, flame resistance, and durability are paramount.

• Medical Devices: Protects wiring in diagnostic equipment and hospital tools, where reliability is essential.

• Sports Equipment: Applied in racing bikes, skateboards, and performance gear for lightweight reinforcement.

Precautions

• Use Proper Cutting Tools: Kevlar fibers are tough—use sharp scissors to achieve a clean cut.

• Seal the Ends: To prevent fraying, apply heat-shrink tubing or resin to the cut ends after installation.

• Avoid Overstretching: Although Kevlar is strong, excessive stretching during installation may reduce its performance.

• Store Properly: Keep in a dry, ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and high humidity to maintain fiber integrity.
