Sleeving is an essential component of any electrical machine, motor or appliance and, in response to customer demand within these vast market areas, Varflex has developed an array of insulating sleevings that are available in a variety of sizes and colors, in coils, cut lengths or on spools.

Varflex manufactures electrical insulating sleevings that are suitable for high and low temperatures, high and low voltages, as well as for abrasive and other physically demanding applications and hostile environments.

The voltage and temperature ratings of Varflex sleevings are recognized by UL (Underwriters Laboratories), certified by CSA (CSA International) and meet the requirements of, and are on the QPLs (Qualified Products Lists) for, applicable military specifications. For those applications not satisfied through the use of its standard products, Varflex stands ready to supply special coatings and treatments, extra heavy, double- or triple-wall constructions, as well as special braiding and overbraiding, all of which are done in-house.

Although electrical applications are most common, Varflex braided sleevings can also be used to jacket wire, or other small devices, from intense heat, radiative environments, ultraviolet light, abrasion and intermittent exposure to chemicals. More recently, Varflex sleevings are being utilized in many “nontraditional” applications as well.
