Hook-N-Shield^® (TPU)

Introducing Zippertubing’s latest material offering for the medical industry, TPU. TPU, or thermoplastic polyurethane, is a flexible, high-temperature, halogen-free, flame-retardant jacketing film that offers excellent abrasion properties. This material, when used in conjunction with our other halogen-free materials, will provide a completely halogen-free and flame-retardant wraparound solution for virtually any industry or application.

TPU is a flexible film that has excellent abrasion resistance, remains flexible through a wide range of temperatures, and can be RF sealed or sewn to other films, EMI shields, and closures, including our EZ-Track (TPU). This material is suitable for use in the medical industry due to its specifications and because of its clean white appearance.

In the instrumentation and medical industry, failure and inaccuracy are unacceptable. Whether you need EMI shielding to ensure the proper function of machinery and equipment or cable bundling for safety regulations or cosmetic application, we have you covered.

SHX-4 (SnCuFe) is a flexible 4 layer knitted wire mesh EMI shielding material that is made of Tin plated, Copper clad Steel wire. The knitted mesh design creates a highly flexible shield that unlike many tubular braids will not change attenuation performance when articulated. The knitted wire mesh maintains constant window spacing during cable assembly movement and as a result yields excellent EMI shielding performance from 500 KHz through 1 GHz. The material is highly conductive, rugged and is ideal for airborne applications where lightning strike grounding is required. The mesh can be added to most Zippertubing jacket materials to create an easy to install Zip-On EMI shielded assembly. SHX-4 shields come with a standard 15 AWG drain wire attached to simplify grounding.

Ground wires normally allow an electrical connection or transfer of the electromagnetic interference (EMI) from the component to a grounded connector. Zippertubing offers many different gauges of ground wires to meet the needs of your application.

Our ground wires are comprised of tin-plated, copper-wire that are braided and formed into a flat configuration. They are used as an electrical ground drain, confirm to Federal Specification QQ-W-343E and American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM-B-575B specifications.

The Hook and Loop closure consists of dissimilar woven tapes comprised of synthetic hook filaments on one side and loop fibers on the other. The closure is sealed when the hooks are forced into the loops causing the hook barbs to engage and catch the loop side. The hook barbs can be pulled out of the loops numerous times with only minor damage creating a closure that can be re-entered and resealed. This closure system can be used with all EMI Shielding material options in Round, Flat and Rectangular configurations with cable sizes of 1/2" and up. No tooling is required to open or close this system.
