Bentley Harris Expando® 686DM Braided Sleeving

Expando® 686DM is a premium expandable oversleeve designed to protect cables, hoses, and wire harnesses in severe mechanical and environmental conditions. Rated for continuous operation up to +200°C (+392°F) and compliant with VW-1 and FAR Part 25 flammability standards, it ensures reliable performance in critical applications.

Constructed from two high-performance polymers:

• PEEK guard strands deliver exceptional strength and abrasion resistance.
• PPS support strands provide stability with low smoke, toxicity, and minimal off gassing.

This combination creates a lightweight, durable solution for environments where safety and reliability are paramount.

Ideal for aerospace, defense, marine, and industrial applications, Expando® 686DM withstands vibration, abrasion, temperature extremes, and contamination. Its braided, open-weave design expands to fit irregular shapes while preventing heat and moisture retention—perfect for dynamic or moisture-sensitive installations.

• Operating Range: –70°C to +200°C (–94°F to +392°F)
• Abrasion Resistant: Protects against chafing and mechanical wear
• Flammability: Meets VW-1 (UL 1441) and FAR Part 25
• Halogen-Free & RoHS Compliant
• Breathable Design: Does not trap heat or moisture
• Lightweight & Easy Installation

Applications: Aerospace and aircraft systems, military and defense harnessing, marine and offshore equipment, space-grade wiring assemblies, any environment requiring robust, flame-retardant cable protection.

Accessories available including scissors, hot knives and installation tool.
