Kevlar cable sleeve has excellent thermal stability permitting long-term use at temperatures up to 160°C/320°F without significant strength loss and still keep strong. There are many components that contribute to the strength of the Kevlar wire sleeve, including the fact that Kevlar is a polymer containing aromatic and amide molecular groups. When the molten Kevlar is spun into fibers, the polymers have a crystalline arrangement, with the polymer chains oriented parallel to the fiber's axis. The amide groups are able to form hydrogen bonds between the polymer chains, which act like glue holding the separate polymer chains together.
Kevlar braided sleeving does NOT melt or support combustion. Kevlar wire sleeve offers strength and durability, yet is relatively light in weight. It is mostly used in the fiber optic and electromechanical cable industries where high temperatures and durability are required of the protective cable sleeve.
