Why choose flame retardant for Polyester/cotton Braided Sleeve?

As we all know, the price of braided network pipe is an important reference factor when we buy, so here comes the problem. There are often two types of PET braided mesh pipes on the market, one is flame-retardant and the other is non-flame-retardant, and the non-flame-retardant Polyester/Cotton Braided Sleeve will be lower. So why do we choose flame retardant Polyester/cotton Braided Sleeve?

In fact, the important thing is safety. At present, Polyester/Cotton Braided Sleeve are mostly used in high-end fields such as automotive wiring harnesses, rail transit, mechanical equipment wiring harnesses, cabinet wiring harnesses, and medical equipment. Moreover, it has the functions of beauty, arrangement and protection, and the safety requirements are particularly high. Compared with this, the price of poly/cotton braided sleeves is particularly cheap, but it cannot be ignored.
In the course of work, some small probability accidents often occur, such as the line catches fire. At this time, if you choose non-flame-retardant Polyester/cotton Braided Sleeve, since PET itself is flammable, it is easy to increase the fire, and the consequences will be disastrous. If you choose a flame-retardant Polyester/cotton Braided Sleeve, since the flame retardant is added to the PET thread, it will be extinguished once a fire breaks out, which can well hinder the spread of the fire, buy time for the staff to extinguish the fire, and reduce losses.
In this era of fierce competition, quality is the life of an enterprise. A small accident may cause a small direct loss, but the indirect reputation loss cannot be estimated.
Polyester/cotton Braided Sleeve is a high-performance mesh tube that is flame retardant and halogen-free. It can meet the requirements of various industrial fields for wear protection. Especially its unique braided structure, which can expand to 1.5 times its original diameter. It's better for wrapping around harnesses and can pass through bulky connectors without a hitch. Weaving can be divided into round tube and flat tube, round tube means round mouth, flat tube means flat mouth. So here comes the problem. When buying, should I buy a round tube or a flat tube? We're going to get some basics down. Now let me tell you the difference between the two.
The first is the difference in application. The round tube-shaped port makes it easier to insert the wiring harness. However, general customers do not use it for wire harness protection, and mostly use it in any market such as bouncing toys. It can stand up well and play the role of bouncing, and the flat is usually used to protect the wiring harness of automobiles, aerospace, transportation, equipment, etc. And it can be extended to a certain range to play the role of beautiful protection, insulation, flame retardant and so on.
Second, there are differences in raw materials. Round tubes are generally used in some low-end products, so there is no requirement for quality, only elasticity is required. Therefore, the commonly used raw materials are of inferior quality, thereby reducing the cost. And this basic term is very strict in the automotive wiring harness, so all new flame-retardant materials are used.
Then there's the performance difference. The performance of the round tube is mainly elastic and can be stretched. The flat tube mainly needs to be wear-resistant, beautiful, flame-retardant, environmentally friendly, and insulating.
Therefore, when choosing Polyester/cotton Braided Sleeve, we should choose where it is used and what role it needs to play.
