General
Colour	Black

The Pliosil PET 8 braided sleeve from Ses-Sterling is a black-coloured protective sleeve made of polyester terephthalate (PET), specifically developed for use in electrical and IT installations. It serves as mechanical and partially electrical protective covering for cables and wiring, particularly in areas where high flexibility, durability, and resistance to external influences are required. The sleeve is supplied in a packaging length of 100 metres and features a low weight of 8.1 grams per metre, making it especially suitable for longer installations.

Applications

The Pliosil PET 8 black is used in industrial and commercial electrical installations, where cables and wiring must be protected against mechanical damage, dust, moisture, and mild chemical influences. It is particularly suitable for use in machine construction, plant engineering, transport technology, and building automation. Due to its flexible structure, it is also suitable for applications where cables are frequently moved or bent, such as in movable drive systems or robot cabling.

Functions and Features in Detail

The protective sleeve consists of a braided structure made of polyester terephthalate, a robust and tensile-resistant plastic material that offers high mechanical load capacity. The black colouring serves not only for optical harmonisation in technical installations but can also provide UV protection when the sleeve is used outdoors. The structured braided surface allows for good air circulation, supporting heat dissipation from cables installed within. The packaging length of 100 metres offers high cost-efficiency for larger installations, as it minimises the number of connection points.

Technology Explained Simply

The material PET (polyester terephthalate) is a thermoplastic polymer known for its high strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. In the Pliosil PET 8 braided sleeve, it is processed into a dense, flexible braid that mechanically protects cables without impairing their flexibility. The weight of 8.1 g per metre is particularly low compared to other protective sleeves, facilitating handling and installation. The black colour is standard in industry and ensures uniform visual design in technical installations.

Compatibility and Accessories

The protective sleeve is compatible with a wide range of cables and wiring, particularly electrical and data cables with medium to high flexibility. It can be combined with other products from the Pliosil series to meet different requirements for protection, flexibility, and colour design. The use of cable sleeve clamps or closures is recommended to secure the ends of the sleeve and ensure safe cabling.

Installation and Mounting

The braided sleeve is installed by simply sliding it over the cables to be protected. Due to its high flexibility and low weight, it can also be laid over long distances without additional support. During installation, care should be taken to avoid excessive tension on the sleeve to maintain its service life. The use of cutting tools or special sleeve cutters is recommended to achieve clean cut edges.

Operational Advantages

The Pliosil PET 8 black offers high mechanical stability and resistance to wear, increasing the service life of installed cables. The low mass facilitates handling and reduces strain during installation. The structured surface promotes air circulation, improving heat dissipation and thus enhancing operational safety. The black colour ensures uniform visual design in technical installations and is resistant to UV radiation, making it suitable for outdoor applications as well.
