Braided sleeving is a woven protective tube made from materials like PET, nylon, fiberglass, or PPS. Engineered to surround and protect wire bundles, it provides abrasion resistance, heat shielding, bundling, and noise reduction in one lightweight structure.

Key Material Options:

• PET (Polyester) – Economical, wear-resistant, great for interiors
• Nylon – Highly flexible and tough for moving parts
• Fiberglass + Silicone – High-temp protection up to 250°C
• PPS – Superior chemical resistance and flame retardancy

Construction Types:

• Single-layer or dual-layer designs
• Expandable or tight weave
• Self-closing or split design for quick re-entry

• Laser or hot knife cutting for sealed ends
• Optional coatings for flame retardancy or UV resistance

Real-World Applications in Automotive Wiring

This versatility makes braided sleeving a top choice for OEMs, wire harness integrators, and Tier-1 suppliers alike.

Standards That Define Performance
Compliance with industry standards ensures that sleeving doesn't just protect—it performs under pressure.

• UL 94 V0 – Highest fire retardancy level for plastic materials
• FMVSS 302 – Federal flammability standard for vehicle interiors
• RoHS / REACH – Environmentally compliant and halogen-free
• OEM Specifications – VW TL 820 66, BMW GS 95024, Ford WSS-M99P32, etc.

Whether you're building EVs or ICE platforms, certified sleeving ensures compatibility with global market requirements.
