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.

Products are available in a range of materials including Polyester, Halar®, Teflon ®, Kevlar® and Fibreglass.
