Expando® FR Plus is a braided, flame-retardant polyester (PET) sleeving designed for applications up to 125ºC. This product is UL recognized as a VW-1 component, and has F.A.R. Part 25 approval. A general purpose industrial/commercial product, Expando FR Plus balances 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 FR 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® FR Plus protective oversleeve has many applications in the aeronautical, marine, electronic and general manufacturing industries. The ability of Expando FR Plus to retain flexibility at low temperatures makes it ideal for exposed applications in weather stations, navigation beacons, radar antennas, airborne and space systems.
