NON-FRAYING, EXPANDABLE BRAIDED SLEEVING NOW AVAILABLE FROM ALPHA WIRE

Exclusive sleeving cuts easily with scissors and automatic equipment, without the need for a hot knife.

Elizabeth NJ. . . Alpha Wire Company introduces GRP NF - a revolutionary nylon braided sleeving that cuts with scissors and does not fray, even in demanding applications requiring motion and manipulation. GRP NF does not require a hot knife for cutting, making it the ideal choice for field installed applications and for use with automatic cutting equipment. Designed to be flexible and to move, GRP NF can be used in conjunction with Alpha's new XTRA•GUARD® Flexible Cables, delivering added protection while improving performance and appearance.

GRP NF sleeving was specifically created so that it can be easily cut with scissors. Moreover, GRP NF will not fray during installation. No matter the use, GRP NF keeps its edge without developing loose ends.

"We developed GRP NF to meet the changing needs of technicians on the bench and in the field," explains Craig Snyder, Senior Marketing Manager. "Being able to cut the sleeving with scissors is a great advantage. Plus, because GRP NF is very flexible, it’s great for use in high-flex applications like robotics, sophisticated automation machinery and material handling equipment. And there’s a strong synergy between GRP NF and Alpha’s XTRA•GUARD® Flexible Cables, particularly for dressing multiple cables and pneumatic tubing in advanced equipment applications. Together, they offer superior performance and maximum durability."

GRP NF is strong, lightweight and ideal for wire Harnessing, cables and hoses, particularly in applications that demand motion or frequent expansion at the scissor-cut end. Simply put, GRP NF keeps its clean edge when other sleeving products cannot.

GRP NF comes in standard and flame retardant versions. Available in a variety of sleeve sizes, both GRP 110NF (black) and GRP 120NF (black with white tracer) are chemical and solvent resistant (including freon, detergents, soaps, bleaches and water). With an operating temperature of -70° C to 125° C, GRP NF is tough and durable.

Like all of Alpha's products, GRP NF is available for immediate shipment.
