Expandable Sleeving

Western Filament’s expandable sleeving provides reliable protection for wires, harnesses, hoses, and cables.

Lightweight and flexible, made from self-moulding materials, they conform to the shape of the underlying components. Sleeving enhances abrasion resistance and helps prevent damage from impact, cuts, and snagging.

The expandable sleeving range from Western Filament comes in a range of materials including Ceramic, Silica, Nomex®, Polyester, Halar®, Teflon ®, Kevlar® and Fibreglass.
