Varglas Viton® 231 Sleeving
Varglas Viton® 231 sleevings are braided fiberglass, modified Viton® composite with exceptional physical and electrical properties. It has excellent abrasion and cut-through resistances while offering improved flexibility throughout a wide operating temperature range of (-70°C to +220°C). It's resistance to both aromatic and aliphatic solvents, fuels, including jet fuel JP-5; and oils. Varglas Viton® 231 is a silicone free fluoroelastomer sleeving, placing this sleeving above other available polymer-coated fiberglass braids.
Class: 220 R (-70°C to +220°C)(-94°F to +428°F)
Dielectric Strength Grade(s): A-1 B-1 C-1
Specifications
Varglas Viton® 231 sleevings conforms to, and is listed on the qualified products list for, MIL-l-3190/7, latest revision (Grade A), and exceeds the requirements of NEMA TF-1 and ASTM-D372.
Under the Component Program of Underwriters Laboratories, Varglas Viton® 231 Sleevings complies with VW-1 flammability requirements under UL File #E53690. It is incorporated in systems work, per UL Safety Standard 1446, to facilitate product acceptance by UL.
Applications
Varglas Viton® 231 sleevings are used when the need to maintain a silicone-free environment is important. It's excellent resistance to flames and abrasion make it ideally suited for the insulation of leads and connections of critical electrical components. Viton® 231 is used in DC generators and motors to reduce arcing problems; as well as for wire harnesses in areas where continuous operating temperatures run as high as 220°C. Varglas Viton® 231 is also used in transformers where resistance to high impingement velocity oils is required and, generally, where better solvent and oil resistance is needed.
