Expando® HR Plus is an advanced expandable sleeving made from Halar® (E-CTFE) fluoropolymer, delivering superior protection in demanding environments. Rated for continuous use up to 150°C (302°F), it offers inherent flame retardancy and UL VW-1 compliance. Unlike conventional materials, it resists melting or dripping under direct flame, making it ideal for aerospace, defense, marine, and high-reliability industrial applications.
Built for Extreme Conditions
Operating from -70°C to +150°C (-94°F to +302°F), Expando® HR Plus maintains strength in both severe cold and high heat. Its E-CTFE construction provides outstanding chemical resistance, ensuring durability against fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, solvents, and corrosive agents.Expando HR Plus Data Sheet
