Flex-Shield™-HP

 Tin/Copper EMI Shielded Expandable Sleeving, Aramid Core
Flex-Shield™-HP is a high performance EMI shielded, braided expandable sleeve that is lightweight and flexible. The fiber cores are made of high temperature Aramid (Kevlar) and are individually wrapped with a Tinned Copper Foil. The fibers are braided together at a low braid angle to create a tubular product that can expand and contract to a limited degree for a perfect cable fit. These foil wrapped fibers create a sleeve that provides good EMI protection and yields a material with outstanding flex-life. This product is intended for high flex, high temperature and environmentally tough applications. Flex-Shield-HP is currently in use on several aerospace applications where light weight and high performance are needed. The material meets UL224, VW-1 for flammability and has an operational temperature range of -40 to 150ºC.
