In industrial applications, braided tubing<\/strong> is indispensable when it comes to protecting cables, lines<\/a>, and hoses. They not only provide mechanical protection but also a high degree of flexibility and resistance to various environmental influences. In recent years, mixed braided tubing<\/strong> has become increasingly important. These tubes combine different materials to unite the advantages of several properties and thus fulfill the special requirements of different applications.<\/p>\n

What is mixed braided tubing?<\/h2>\n

Mixed braided tubing<\/a> consists of different materials that are braided together to maximize the individual strengths of each material. Typical material combinations include metal threads such as stainless steel or galvanized steel, synthetic fibers such as nylon, polyester<\/a>, or polypropylene, and occasionally high-performance materials such as Kevlar and PPS. The combination of these materials results in a product that is not only more resistant and durable but also fulfills the specific requirements of different industrial applications.<\/p>\n

Moreover, mixed braided tubing includes not only the combination of materials such as plastic and metal but also the utilization of different plastics within the braid. One example of this is the FITCOFLEX\u00ae-B-PA\/2PET<\/strong>. This is a halogen-free braided hose consisting of a PA (polyamide) monofilament yarn and two PET (polyethylene terephthalate) monofilament yarns<\/strong>. This combination makes it possible to customize the hose’s flexibility, abrasion resistance, and temperature resistance, whereby PA is known for its high strength and PET for its resistance to moisture. Although exclusively made of plastics, this is a mixed braid, as the threads are made of different plastic materials.<\/p>\n

Another variant is the FITCOFLEX\u00ae-B-2PA\/PET<\/strong>, where the ratio is reversed: two PA threads<\/strong> and one PET thread<\/strong> are combined. This variant offers greater strength and temperature resistance. This is due to the increased proportion of robust PA material, while PET provides flexibility and lower moisture absorption. Such mixtures of plastics enable numerous customization options, depending on the specific requirements of the application, such as protection against mechanical stress, temperature resistance, or flexibility. This variety of material combinations emphasizes the versatility of mixed braided tubing in industrial applications.<\/p>\n
