Cable Protection - The high bore expansion and retention of roundness make Hilflex PG FR sleeves ideal for use in the manufacture of wiring looms, especially where cables are connected to moving parts and are constantly flexed.

Harnesses - Hilflex PG FR is used extensively as a harness sleeve, the open construction of the braid allowing branch terminations to be made through the sleeve wall, which greatly speeds manufacture.

Cutting - Hilflex PG FR is cut utilising a hot cutting knife. This melts the monofilaments during the cutting action, bonding the braid crossover points and preventing fraying of the cut end.

This braid can be tied off with cable ties or heat shrink to provide a professional looking finish that minimizes the risk of the braid fraying. We have a whole range of cable ties and heat shrink available for sale on our ebay store.

Hilflex PG FR is an expandable flame retardant, close weave sleeving produced from braided polybutylene terephthalate monofilaments. The special braid construction permits the sleeving bore to be expanded up to 300% and a particular feature is the retention of roundness.
