Ben-Har Ex-Flex 1500 | Heat-Treated Fiberglass Sleeving

Ben-Har Ex-Flex 1500 is a braided fiberglass sleeving which is heat treated and saturated to prevent end fray and increase ease of handling. This product was developed to meet end fray resistance needs of most assembly operations and for high temperature applications where ordinary film varnish and impregnants cannot be used. Ben-Har Ex-Flex withstands normal assembly handling, cut-through, and mechanical stress without the loss of insulating capability. However, performance is determined by wall thickness. The sleeving is stable in the presence of most organic solvents, and shows no effect when exposed to 10 megarads of radiation. Ben-Har Ex-Flex 1500 should be considered where assembly conditions or color requirements dictate use of fray retarding or pigmant saturant. If subsequent service or accidental temperatures exceed 240°C, the saturant will gradually volatize without toxic or excessive fumes or smoke. Ex-Flex 1500 provides space factor insulation of about 1500 volts. Designed to meet UL and CSA requirements in two appliance applications, Ex-Flex 1500 construction offers higher electrical and thermal performance as primary and supplementary insulation for leads, heater cord, resistance wire and wire harness assemblies.
