Standard Jacket Materials
Both Galvanised and Stainless Steel Wire Ropes can (and are) coated. Aside from color, there are two broad categories of coating – PVC and Nylon
Poly-Vinyl-Chloride (PVC):
PVC is the most commonly used plastic for mechanical cable coatings. Reasonably priced and flexible, PVC carries excellent weatherability and UV resistance—something that degrades most plastics. Operating temperatures range from 30°F
(-35°C) to 180°F (80°C). Within this class, Vinyl can be supplied in a range of hardness and durometers—which create a spectrum from hard and stiff to soft and spongy. Color choices are nearly endless—from vivid brights and soft pastels to fluorescents and safety orange. Let us know what you need, and we can make it happen.
Nylon Series:
With wide-ranging flexibility and chemical/fatigue resistance, our nylon jackets can be tailored to fit your application. When you need a jacketed cable with a high cycle life, nylon is what you are looking for! Our SuperTuff fitness cable and
MIL-Spec aircraft cable are clear illustrations of its longevity.
