NM's fabric-like softness and flexibility hide surprisingly tough specifications. The high coverage sleeving meets or exceeds military specifications MIL-I-47203(MI) and MIL-S-47053(MI). Nylon Multifilament is highly resistant to abrasion, cuts, common automotive and marine chemicals, UV damage and vibration. It will not rot or retain moisture. Please Note: Nylon Multifilament is NOT expandable. Please see our Nylon Monofilament for an expandable nylon braided sleeving. |
Under the hood or across the floor, Nylon® Multifilament (NM) is the perfect sleeving product for protecting and improving the appearance of wires and cables. NM has been used in military wire harness applications for many years.
The wide operating temperature range allows NM to protect delicate wiring in engine compartments and near exhaust systems.
