In the automotive industry, every detail matters. For automotive manufacturers and suppliers, performance does not rely only on major visible innovations, but also on the most discreet technical components.
This is where Joubert Group’s FlexTex PES-B expandable textile sleeve comes in: a technical textile solution designed to meet the requirements of protection, flexibility and durability in automotive applications.
One of the main features of this sleeve is its expansion capability:
This flexibility enables fast integration into automotive equipment, without bends or folds, while ensuring good retention around the protected components.
Made from polyester monofilament, FlexTex PES-B is:
These properties make it an ideal solution for sensitive vehicle areas, particularly in engine environments or wheel arches, where mechanical and chemical constraints are strongest.
FlexTex PES-B has been designed to provide complete protection in line with the expectations of automotive suppliers. It meets both manufacturing constraints and real operating conditions.
It withstands continuous temperatures from -50°C to +150°C, with peaks up to 220°C. It has passed bending tests at -70°C without cracking, according to IEC 60684, making it a benchmark solution for extreme climate conditions.
It is also compatible with all tested automotive fluids: gasoline, diesel, DOT5 brake fluid, antifreeze, engine oil, windshield washer fluid, etc. Its chemical resistance is a real asset for under-hood applications or areas close to tanks and pumps.
FlexTex PES-B offers:
These characteristics are essential for automotive manufacturers seeking to reduce noise disturbance while ensuring the longevity of harnesses and electrical components.
It is therefore part of a responsible approach, essential in today’s technical solutions for the automotive industry.
