Expano PT Plus | Polyester Highly Expandable Braid (1:3) | Fray Resistant

Expando® PT PLUS is a braided polyester (PET) sleeving designed to be cut with scissors for applications up to 125ºC. A tough, lightweight oversleeves used to protect cable assemblies, hoses and wire harnesses from chafing, cutting and abrading. The open-braid construction of Expando products enables each size to expand to fit several application shapes and diameters. This open-textile construction also makes them highly flexible and resistant to trapping water, heat and humidity.

General purpose for Defense, Industrial and Commercial products, Expando® PT PLUS balance the properties of mechanical and thermal stability with economy.

The patented Bentley-Harris Plus treatment makes end termination neater and easier. The Plus treatment creates a webbing between the filaments of the sleeving to reduce end fray during installation and through the life of the product. Because of the fray resistant properties of Expando® PT PLUS, it can be cut with ordinary scissors, which reduces assembly time and eliminates the need for proper ventilation equipment required for hot-knife cutting.

Expando® PT PLUS oversleeve has many applications in the marine, electronic and general manufacturing industries. The ability of Expando PT PLUS to retain flexibility at low temperatures make them ideal for exposed applications in weather stations, navigation beacons and radar antennas.
