Aerospace Carbon Fiber Braided Sleeving 2? – Lightweight EMI Shield / Thermal Protection – Mil-Grade Quality

Item Description

This listing is for a length of 2-inch braided carbon fiber sleeving originally sourced from an aerospace manufacturer. The original labels were removed for proprietary reasons, but the sleeving exhibits the same construction, weave quality, and performance characteristics found in Bentley-Harris / Federal-Mogul (Aptiv) and Techflex aerospace-grade products.

Aerospace grade carbon fiber yarn braided into a sleeve to easily make straight or curved shapes with no seams.  Braided sleeves will expand or contract to conform to part.  If you order more, the braid will be shipped in continuous yards.

This material is designed for lightweight EMI shielding, abrasion resistance, and high-temperature performance in demanding aerospace, motorsport, and high-end industrial applications.
