(Previously known as Flexo Aramid) Flexo KV is a soft, flexible sleeving that’s perfect for bundling and protecting vulnerable components from the most extreme environmental conditions. FA is braided from aramid fibers and has all of Flexo KV's well-known characteristics of durability, pliability and extraordinary tensile strength. Flexo KV fibers are up to 20 times stronger than steel fibers of equal diameter.
FA 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 KV does not melt or support combustion. FA sleeving provides extreme strength and durability, yet is lightweight and easy to install.
Flexo KV sleeving is available in Yellow. Please note that Flexo KV is degraded by ultraviolet light. Do not store in direct sunlight. Fluorescent lighting will cause discoloration, but will not affect fiber mechanical properties.
