PROVEN SOLUTIONS TRUSTED BY THE U.S. MILITARY AND DEFENSE FOR OVER SIX DECADES

Military and Defense Industry

Since 1957, Zippertubing® has been a trusted provider of high-performance solutions for the military and Department of Defense (DoD). Our American-made products - ranging from cable bundling and heat shrink to EMI shielding and thermal protection - are engineered to meet the stringent demands of military applications. Utilizing MIL-SPEC materials, our solutions are deployed across various platforms, including vehicles, aircraft, naval ships, and support systems.

Comprehensive Defense Solutions

Cable Protection: Lightweight to heavy-duty bundling options, including re-enterable wrap-around and pull-through jacketing, safeguard cables from physical damage and environmental factors.

Heat Shrink Products: Our military-grade wrap-around heat shrink solutions, compliant with SAE-AMS-DTL-23053/5 (MIL-DTL-23053) and approved in NAVAIR 01-1A-505 repair manual, provide quick, reliable repairs without the need to disconnect components.

Thermal Barriers: Heat reflection sleeves and protective covers shield sensitive components from extreme temperatures, ensuring system integrity under harsh conditions.

EMI/RFI Shielding: Customized EMI shields and protective covers minimize electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, crucial for maintaining the performance of communication and weapon systems.

Many of our products carry National Stock Numbers (NSNs) for streamlined procurement, and our engineering team is adept at handling proprietary projects to meet unique defense requirements.
