EFwrap - extensible spiral wrap

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS:

EFWRAP is an extendable spiral wrapmanufactured from black PTFE. EFWRAP willreturn to its original spiral form after being extended, and when applied to looms of wire,it not only grips and holds wires in place, but also prevents the risk of damage caused by tight lacings. Looms can be quickly made up withoutloss of flexibility and extra wires can convenientlybe added later either during installation or when in service. More over, complicated wiring circuits are easily segregated to allow access to individual wires.EFWRAP is clean to handle and remains unaffected by most chemicals. Its general chemical inertness and physical toughness combine to ensure a longlife over a temperature range of -75ºC (-60ºC if flexed continuously) to +250ºC. This temperature withstands means that when the cable is properly installed, it virtually becomes a taped cable sheath capable of providing looms with added protection against high temperatures. Another feature of EFWRAP is its beaded edges,which prevent chafing or damage to the insulation where branch wires are taken out of the loom.The edges also minimise the risk of sharp edged structures or tools displacing the wrap and damaging the wires or cables beneath. Another advantage of EFWRAP is its economy of use because it can be removed and used again manytimes over.

SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE:

Maximum service temperature: +250ºC

Minimum service temperature: -75ºC (-60ºC if flexed)

PROPERTIES:

MechanicalResistant to scrape abrasion and cutting

Chemical

PTFE is resistant to fuels, hydraulic fluids, petroleum and ester based oils, de-icingfluids, fire extinguishing liquids and cleaning slovents, fungus and mildrew.Therefore, EFWRAP will offer some degree of chemical protection, but because it is a spiral wrap, consideration should be given to its area of application where these chemicals are present.

Physical

Flexible throughout temperature range -60ºC to +250ºCResistance to flames and smoke emission, will not support combustion.

Packaging

EFWRAP is supplied separately packed in polythene bags containing random lengths of between 1 and 3 metres.
