Langoflex G
LANGOFLEX G is a tough, lightweight expandable sleeving made of PET .010” (0.25mm) monofilaments braided into a cylindrical sleeve. LANGOFLEX G provides excellent abrasion and good mechanical properties. The flexible open weave construction allows each size to expand up to three times its original diameter for easy installation over irregular shapes. This construction also provides complete drainage preventing heat, condensation and moisture.
LANGOFLEX G is also available in a heavy wall construction (LANGOFLEX HD), using .015” (0.38mm) diameter PET monofilaments for increased wear resistance and in a flame retardant version (LANGOFLEX G-FR).
