Expando PFA Protective Sleeve: Durable Protection for High-Temperature Applications

The Expando PFA protective sleeve is a high-quality, expandable sleeve, specifically designed for extreme conditions, such as those in the aerospace industry. This type of protective sleeve is made from PFA (perfluoroalkoxy), a robust material that withstands temperatures up to +260ºC and provides protection against damage from most chemicals. Due to its low flammability, Expando PFA is ideal for applications where fire safety is crucial. Additionally, the open braided structure ensures that the protective sleeve is flexible and lightweight, making it easy to apply around cables, hoses, and connections.

Flexibility and Durability of Expando PFA in Demanding Environments

Expando PFA protective sleeves not only provide protection against extreme temperatures but also against abrasion, cutting, and other external influences. The open textile construction allows these sleeves to expand easily for a perfect fit on various cables and connections without losing flexibility, even at low temperatures. Furthermore, the construction prevents the retention of moisture and heat, allowing Expando PFA protective sleeves to perform well in wet and humid conditions.
