Protective sheathing: safety, insulation and durability

What is a protective sheath?

La protective sheath is an essential element in ensuring mechanical, thermal or chemical protection of cables, harnesses and technical installations. Designed to extend the life of equipment, it acts as a barrier against external aggressions: friction, extreme temperatures, humidity, chemicals, UV or pests. 

Available in textile, metallic, thermoplastic or composite versions, the cable protection sheath can be tailored to industrial needs, with insulation, shielding or thermal protection properties to suit. 

Advantages of protection tubes for industrial applications

  • Mechanical protection against abrasion, impact or compression 
  • Thermal resistanceideal for thermal protection sheath up to several hundred degrees 
  • Barrier against moisture, chemicals and hydrocarbons 
  • Protection against pests with the rodent-proof sheath 
  • UV resistance for outdoor or exposed installations 
  • Easy to installcompatible with open, spiral or closed ducts 

This is an essential accessory for securing electrical, electronic or hydraulic networks in industrial, automotive or commercial environments. 

Protection of electrical and electronic cables 

  • Electrical cable protection to prevent rubbing, crushing or cuts 
  • Securing electrical networks indoors or outdoors 
  • Organising harnesses for the automotive, industrial and telecommunications sectors 

Thermal and high-temperature protection 

  • Thermal protection for hoses, engine cables or hydraulic lines 
  • Resistance to splashes of hot fluid or radiant heat 
  • For use in harsh environments, heavy industry or railways 

Exterior security and pest control 

  • UV protection for outdoor and marine applications 
  • Rodent protection for facilities in sensitive or agricultural areas 
  • Specific solutions for the building, agri-food and road sectors

FAQ - Protective sheath

Depending on cable diameter, mechanical and thermal constraints and installation environment (indoor, outdoor, industrial).

Some ducts can withstand temperatures of up to +800°Cideal for the automotive and heavy industry sectors.

Yes, as long as you choose a UV protection sheath and adapted to climatic conditions.

Yes, flexible or rigid sheaths, designed for the fibre optic cable protectionensuring signal security and integrity.

Some spiral-wound or braided sleeves are reusable, while the heat-shrinkable are designed for single use only.
