Stronger Than Steel, Soft And Pliable
FLEXO ARAMID (FA) is a soft, flexible sleeving that’s
perfect for bundling and protecting vulnerable
components from the most extreme
environmental conditions. Flexo Aramid is
braided from aramid fibers and has all well-known
characteristics of durability, pliability and
extraordinary tensile strength. Flexo Aramid
fibers are up to 20 times stronger than steel fibers
of equal diameter.

Flexo Aramid has excellent thermal stability,
permitting long-term, continuous use at temperatures
as low as -274°F and as high as 320°F. Short term
exposure up to 572°F can be tolerated. Flexo Aramid
does not melt or support combustion. The sleeving
provides extreme strength and durability, yet
is lightweight and easy to install.
The properties that make Flexo Aramid so tough in
use also make the material a challenge to cut
to length. Use Flexo Aramid shears for cutting.
