Mylar & Chrome Braided Sleeving

Mylar logoMylar is thinly slit and braided with clear PET fibers. It is an innovative solution for adding a mirror finish to any sleevable product. It is readily used in cosmetic applications with dramatic results, such as in show car engine compartments, computer cases (mods), and also in applications where maximum light is crucial (i.e. greenhouses). It is so shiny, you'll blind your competition! Available in Gold or Silver.

Chrome is so much more than a hot looking wire and hose covering. Engineered by braiding heavy gauge 5 mil metallized polyester film (Mylar) in combination with clear PET, it's produced a tough, durable, and attractive solution for a wide range of applications, especially cosmetic ones. It is heavier and has more abrasion resistance to regular Mylar, and can be used in shielding applications where the temperature exceeds 400° F, giving the look of braided stainless steel. Chrome XC is the same as the regular Chrome, but with twice the reflective coverage, giving a smooth, continuous metallic shine in any part of your car!
