Screening and Protection

Expando® PT & Expando® PT Plus are 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.

Expando PT and Expando PT Plus are braided polyester (PET) sleeves designed for applications up to 125°C. General purpose industrial / commercial products, Expando PT and 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 frayresistant properties of Expando PT Plus, it can be cut with ordinary scissors, which reduces assembly time  nd eliminates the need for proper ventilation equipment required for hot-knife cutting.

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

Widely used in the Aerospace industry, and manufactured by Bentley-Harris^® , Expando^®686DM is a protective oversleeve designed for mechanical protection in temeprature extremes and hostile environmental conditions.

Expando 686DM, is rated to 200°C, and meets VW-1 and F.A.R part 25 flammability requiremants.

Flat and tubular braid, both supplied in a flat format. Available with both tin, silver and nickel coated conductors.

The braids conform to A-A-59569A  (which replaces QQ-B-575) and are used for electrical screening of cables and grounding straps.

ROUNDIT® 2000 FR is a wrap-around sleeving manufactured from flame-retardant polyester monofilaments and multifilaments, designed for mechanical protection and maintenance of wire and cable bundles. Its construction with 100% covering ratio provides good abrasion resistance.

The self-wrapping feature of ROUNDIT 2000FR allows for quick and easy installation and removal of the product for assembly and maintenance. ROUNDIT 2000FR may be applied and removed without any manipulation of connectors or fittings and offers an innovative solution in areas where breakouts are necessary.

ROUNDIT 2000FR has many applications in the marine, railway and electronic industries.

ROUNDIT® 2000 NX is a woven combination of Nomex® and PPS (polyphenylene sulfide).

The Nomex®/PPS blend in a flat weave construction gives ROUNDIT 2000 NX a rugged yet smooth texture and appearance for high temperature bundling and abrasion resistance. This product is rated to +200ºC (+392ºF) and is non-halogenated.

ROUNDIT 2000 NX is ideal for commercial and defense aircraft applications due to its excellent abrasion resistance and halogen-free qualities.

ROUNDIT® products are tough, lightweight oversleeves used to bundle and protect cable assemblies, hoses and wire harnesses from chafing, cutting and abrading. The self-wrapping feature of ROUNDIT products allows for quick and easy application and removal of the product for assembly and maintenance. The product may also be applied or removed without disturbing connectors or fittings.

ROUNDIT® 2000 NX EMI is a self-wrapping sleeve designed for mechanical protection and EMI shielding of wire and cable bundles. The outer layer, which supplies the abrasion resistance, is manufactured from PPS monofilaments and Nomex® with an oil and water repellent treatment. The inner layer is composed of nickel-plated copper (Cu/Ni), which provides EMI insulation. The outer layer construction with a 100% covering ratio provides excellent cut-through and abrasion resistance.

ROUNDIT 2000 NX EMI is also available with an internal layer of PTFE tape; allowing wire harnesses to be protected from the inner metal layer. The self-wrapping feature allows for quick and easy installation and removal of the product for assembly and maintenance. ROUNDIT 2000 NX EMI has many applications in the aeronautical and military industries.

HarnBraid^®  tubular braiding for the electrical screening of wire bundles.

It has been designed to ease the assembly of hand build cable assemblies, when EMI screening is required. It comes on a plastic former, which facilitates assembly, and is more robust and easier to use than braid supplied in a flattened form.

Available in a range of optical coverages and materials, and comes in thre ranges:

• HarnBraid 90
• HarnBraid 101
• HarnBraid 103
