Nomex® Aramid Sleeves: Versatile and Reliable Cable Protection

Nomex® Aramid sleeves are an excellent solution for protecting cables and wires from abrasion, cuts, and environmental hazards. Made of high-quality Aramid fibers, Nomex® braided sleeves offer outstanding mechanical and thermal properties, making them ideal for various applications in various industries.

What is Nomex® Aramid?

Nomex® Aramid is a type of Meta-Aramid. Meta-Aramid fibers are made from polyamide, which is a type of synthetic polymer. These fibers are well known for their exceptional thermal resistance, flame retardancy, and strength-to-weight ratio, making them suitable for high-performance applications.

The Difference between Para-Aramid and Meta-Aramid

It is worth noting that there are two types of Aramid fibers: Para-Aramid and Meta-Aramid. Both fibers are made of polyamide polymers but differ in their chemical structure. Para-Aramid fibers, such as Kevlar®, are more rigid and have higher tensile strength than Meta-Aramid fibers. On the other hand, Meta-Aramid fibers, such as Nomex®, have better thermal stability and flame resistance than Para-Aramid fibers.

At GREMCO, we offer two types of Aramid braided sleeves: one made of Para-Aramid fibers and the other made of Meta-Aramid fibers. We use chemical names to differentiate between the two types to avoid using the registered trademarks of DuPont. Our Aramid sleeves are available in various sizes and lengths to meet the diverse needs of our customers.

Applications of Nomex® Aramid Sleeves

Nomex® Aramid sleeves are widely used in various industries, such as aerospace, automotive, electrical, and military. They offer excellent protection against abrasion, cuts, and high temperatures, making them ideal for harsh environments. Here are some typical applications of Nomex® Aramid sleeves:

• Cable and Wire Protection: Aramid sleeves provide reliable protection for cables and wires in industrial and commercial settings.
• Automotive Industry: Aramid braided sleeves are used in the automotive industry to protect hoses, cables, and wiring harnesses from abrasion and high temperatures.
• Aerospace Industry: Aramid sleeves are used in the aerospace industry to protect cables and wiring in aircraft, rockets, and satellites.
• Military and Defense Industry: Aramid sleeves are used to protect critical components, such as wires, hoses, and hydraulic lines in military vehicles and equipment.
