Varflex
Corporation is a designer and manufacturer of a complete line of
electrical insulating sleeving (braided fiberglass), both coated
and uncoated, and tubing (extruded PVC) meeting
military, UL and
CSA requirements, including flame retardation.
sleeving quality and many performance
characteristics during the braiding operation,
it is significant to note that Varflex is the
only full-line
electrical insulating sleeving manufacturer
doing all of its own
braiding, in-house, since 1924. This not only
enables us to maintain a higher level of quality
control, but shortens lead time and assures our
customers of a more reliable source.
Varflex also braids
sleeving from nylon, polypropylene, Dacron®,
Nomex®, Kevlar ®, Spectra ®,
and other exotic yarns, and wire too.

Varflex Coated
Sleeving |
|
Coated sleevings are
used to satisfy electrical, as well as, thermal, physical and
chemical requirements. Generally, braided electrical insulating
sleevings which have been continuously coated are
characteristically identified with a temperature classification
(thermal level at which sleeving can operate continuously) and a
grade (defined through dielectric strength breakdown or puncture
voltage). |

 |
Varflex Uncoated
Sleeving |
|
Uncoated
(untreated or lightly treated) sleevings are used for secondary
insulation, harnessing, physical protection, and serve as good
anchors for varnish treatments in electrical units. Because of
this, treated sleevings find extensive application with potting
plastics where the sleeving acts as a substratum to support
potting compounds to enhance the electrical and mechanical
properties of a system. |

Varflex Extruded
Tubing |
|
Certain applications
require the use of a non braided –
homogeneous material, extruded tubing.
Varflex offers several types extruded
tubing that cover a variety of performance characteristics.
These tubings can be used either as primary or secondary
electrical insulating sleeving or as hoses to transport
compatible gases and liquids, or as vacuum hoses. |

Varflex Yarn & Braid |
|
Varflex
Corporation was a pioneer in the manufacturing of electrical
insulating sleeving in the United States and sleeving has been
our only business since our founding in 1924. We continue to do
our own twisting and plying, yarn winding and braiding in-house
and the expertise we have developed and honed over those many
years, reinforced by our reputation for quality, is now
available to those customers who wish to supplement their own
operations through the purchase of Twisted and Plied Yarns,
Braider Packages and/or Uncoated Fiberglass Braid. |
