The automotive industry is increasingly relying on complex electrical and electronic systems. Cable protection plays a key role in ensuring the reliability and safety of modern vehicles. With specially developed products, Techflex offers solutions that meet the unique requirements of the automotive industry and ensure reliable protection for cables and wires. A plus: We at Techflex are able to register the materials of our products in the IMDS and provide corresponding material data sheets and initial sample test reports for customers or partners.

Moving components in particular, such as door systems, place special demands on cable protection. Cables in these areas must not only be flexible, but also extremely resistant to continuous bending and movement. Protection solutions such as stretchable braided sleeving ensure the necessary flexibility and at the same time protection against abrasion and mechanical stress. In this way, Techflex supports the automotive industry in extending the service life of electrical systems and increasing reliability in safety-relevant areas.

Cables in vehicles are constantly exposed to mechanical influences. Vibrations, shocks and abrasion are not exceptions, but part of everyday vehicle life. Robust cable protection is therefore essential to protect the cables from these challenges and ensure their long-term functionality. The right braided sleeving reliably withstands mechanical loads and protects cables from abrasion and damage in areas with intensive movement. Depending on the material, the hoses can also withstand common chemicals in the automotive sector. 

Sensors for electronics in particular are often installed in areas that are exposed to strong vibrations and high temperatures. They are used to transmit data on speed, surroundings and vehicle condition. Effective cable protection is essential to prevent system failures and malfunctions.

Materials such as Nylon® monofilament are abrasion-resistant and temperature-stable.  Flexo® PPS is also a lightweight and abrasion-resistant braided sleeving that also impresses with its high chemical resistance and temperature stability. It is particularly suitable for demanding environments where cables require a high level of protection against chemicals.

There's no question about it - temperatures in the engine compartment and on exhaust systems are high and require cable protection that remains permanently heat-resistant. Specially developed hoses ensure a long service life and protect the electrical components.

The Insultherm® high-temperature fabric conduit, for example, is a thick-walled fiberglass conduit. It is ideal for applications in which cables are permanently exposed to high temperatures, as is the case in the engine compartment or on exhaust systems. The material withstands heat and is resistant to chemicals such as petrol and engine oils.

New areas require new solutions. E-mobility has also changed the requirements for cable protection in the automotive industry. The protection of high-voltage cables is essential in e-mobility. High-voltage cables transmit voltages. They must be resistant to mechanical and thermal loads. The international standard color coding is Orange to indicate high-voltage components and ensure safety. 

Techflex® Insultherm Medium (FGM) is a heat-treated fiberglass conduit that is resistant to fraying and suitable for temperatures up to 650 °C. It is used as insulation for electrical applications. It serves as insulation for electrical applications with high heating resistances and protects soldered connections. FGM is flexible, durable, easy to install and available in black or orange.

T6 Thermashield®, on the other hand, is an aluminum-coated heat protection hose that reflects radiant heat and thus guarantees reliable protection at permanently high temperatures. Easy handling and the option of retrofitting make it particularly flexible for applications in heat-stressed vehicle parts.

Techflex offers solutions that are indispensable for the automotive industry. Our products are designed for extreme mechanical, thermal and chemical requirements and guarantee a long service life and system safety. Even in the newer field of e-mobility and high-voltage applications, Techflex provides reliable protection that the automotive industry can rely on.
