Overview
SIST EN 4708-102:2018 is a European standard specifying the requirements for heat-shrinkable sleeving made from very flexible polymer materials, designed primarily for aerospace applications. This product standard focuses on sleeving used in aircraft electrical systems operating at temperatures ranging from -75 °C to 150 °C. The sleeving offers excellent flexibility, flame retardance, and mechanical protection with a thick wall construction. It is also resistant to aircraft fuels and hydraulic fluids, making it ideal for harsh aviation environments.
The sleeving is typically supplied in black color and is available with internal diameters up to 102 mm, accommodating a shrink ratio of 2:1. While the standard lists specific sizes, custom sizes may also be compliant if they meet the physical and mechanical property requirements detailed in the standard’s test tables.
Key Topics
Material Characteristics
The sleeving is made of a very flexible polymer that maintains integrity over wide temperature ranges (-75 °C to 150 °C), making it suitable for critical aerospace electric wiring applications.Mechanical and Thermal Properties
- Thick wall design for mechanical durability
- Flame retardant performance to enhance safety
- Excellent dimensional stability under heat aging and thermal cycling
- High tensile strength and elongation capacity to resist mechanical strain
Environmental Resistance
Specially engineered to resist contamination by aviation fuels, hydraulic fluids, and other harsh chemicals commonly encountered in aircraft operations.Electrical Insulation and Protection
The sleeving provides effective insulation with a high breakdown voltage and volume resistivity, protecting wiring from electrical faults and interference.Performance Testing
Comprehensive testing protocols include dimensional checks, heat shock, tensile strength, flame propagation, copper corrosion, fluid resistance, water absorption, and long-term aging to ensure full compliance with aerospace safety and reliability requirements.
Applications
SIST EN 4708-102:2018 heat-shrinkable sleeving is widely used within the aerospace industry for:
- Aircraft electrical wiring harness protection - safeguarding against mechanical damage, chemical contamination, and environmental exposure.
- Cable insulation and identification - ensuring reliable electrical isolation and clear wire marking in complex aircraft systems.
- Maintenance and repair - providing flexible and robust solutions for wire bundling, insulation repair, and protection upgrades.
- Fluid-contaminated zones - ideal for areas subjected to exposure to hydraulic fluids and aviation fuels where standard sleeving materials would degrade.
These attributes make the sleeving essential in aerospace manufacturing, maintenance, and upgrade activities, contributing to safer and more durable electrical systems.
