Varglas Acrylic Sleeving
Varglas A397 and 343 Acrylic sleeving is designed to insulate and fit over wires and cables used in electronic or mechanical apparatuses. Varglas A397 and 343 Acrylic sleevings are designed for durability over long periods in a 155°C range without loss of any electrical or physical properties, designed to insulate up to 7000 volts. Both A397 and 343 are resistant to most acids, organic solvents, oils, water and exhibit fair resistance to alkalies. They are compatible with modified polyester, acrylic, epoxy, phenolic and formvar wire enamels.
