From the appearance of nylon protective sleeve and braided heat shrink sleeve, is difficult to distinguish them, they are often make us confused, actually these two products are very different. Today let's take a closer look.

          First of all, the biggest difference between these two types of sleeve is that the nylon protective sleeve can’t shrink when heated, while braided heat shrink sleeve, as its name suggests, does shrink when heated.

         Although these two types of sleeve look the same from the surface, they are made of different raw materials. Nylon protective sleeve is woven from nylon multifilament, and the braided heat shrink sleeve is made of polyester fiber and polyolefin.

         The different materials and characteristics of the two types of sleeve make the application field different.

         Nylon protective sleeve has good wear resistance and softness. Acid, alkali, oil and other substances are difficult to damage it, not afraid of mold and moth, and has flame retardant, can be a good protection of equipment cables, prolong the service life of cables. It is mainly used to protect the wiring harness of hydraulic pipe, rubber pipe and plastic pipe from damage. It is suitable for the mining industry and construction industry with higher requirements for hose protection.

        Braided heat shrink sleeve has good noise reduction, flexibility, abrasion resistance and heat insulation. Due to its heat shrinkable property, it can fit well with the pipe, so it is mostly used for some heterosexual, irregular wires and pipes. This kind of sleeve is widely used in electronics, electrical appliances, automation equipment, high-speed rail industry, automotive industry and other fields. Play a good role in noise reduction and wear resistance.

       Although these two kinds of sleeve have a lot of differences, but have good explosion-proof, anti-wear and noise reduction advantages, can well meet the needs of different fields of wire harness protection.
