Overview

Abrasion-resistant thermoplastic polyurethane jacketing
Velcro-style closure requires no tools for installation
Durable shielding mesh withstands rugged conditions

Hook-N-Shield® (TPU) is a wrap-around EMI shielding solution equipped with a Velcro® closure. The jacketing is a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material that is 0.02” thick and UL-rated for flammability with meeting UL 94, V-0. The TPU jacketing is halogen free, abrasion resistant, microorganism resistant and ozone resistant (Stage 0, “Crack Free”). This jacketing’s properties meet requirements typically demanded in medical and clean room applications*.

The SHX-4 (SnCuFe) is a shielding mesh made from 4-ply tin-plated, copper clad steel wire. The mesh provides good shielding from EMI, RFI, and EMF, and is durable to last through rugged conditions. A 15 AWG braided wire is sewn to the shielding mesh for grounding capabilities. If you are looking for a shielding material that provides better protection from EMI, Hook-N-Shield® (TPU) can be equipped with either the Z-3250-CN or Z-7200-C shielding fabric upon request. The Z-3250 shielding fabric is made of a taffeta material plated with copper then nickel for excellent corrosion resistance. The Z-7200 fabric has a unique property of being non-magnetic and halogen-free, which is ideal for applications that have sensitive magnetic instrumentation and require halogen-free material.

The Aramid Velcro® closure requires no tools for installing Hook-N-Shield® (TPU). The hooks and loops easily engage for a secure closure, but can be peeled apart just as quickly to access components inside. The Velcro® is sewn to the TPU jacketing with an Aramid thread to ensure a strong seal of materials and to maintain the halogen-free product offering.

Hook-N-Shield® (TPU) is offered for diameters ranging from 0.5” to 6”, with custom shapes and sizes available upon request. The operational temperature range is -40°F to 257°F (-40°C to 125°C).

*Hook-N-Shield® (TPU) is not manufactured using a clean room in sterile conditions, but with the right procedures, it could be used in the medical field, including in hospitals, operating rooms, trauma centers, and emergency rooms.

Installation Instructions

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What lengths of hook & loop jacketing are available?

A: Our hook & loop closed sleeves can be ordered in lengths as short as a few inches to lengths of 100 feet or more. When quoting or ordering, make sure to clearly state the length of each sleeve in inches, which is typically referenced at the end of the part number (-X120.0 for example).

Q: What diameter of jacketing do I need? Is it recommended to oversize?

A: We will often suggest oversizing the sleeve diameter by 1/8” to allow for ease of installation. If the application requires significant bending or flexing we will suggest even more extra room. For assistance with sizing you can also contact one of our design engineers.

Q: Can I cut the Jacketing?

A: Yes*. *We recommend ordering hook & loop closed
jacketing to the exact length required, but you absolutely can trim down a spool of Hook-N-Shield jacketing using standard scissors. When cutting lengths of Hook-N-Shield jacketing, keep in mind the newly trimmed edges will not have the back-stitching found on the factory edges and the stitching may come loose over time. For more details on cutting or size recommendations please contact one of our design engineers.

Q: What is the minimum bend radius of the tubing?

A: There is no minimum bend radius for our Hook-N-Shield products. The flexible jacketing material allows for extreme amounts of bending and flexing. The bend radius of the installed tubing is typically dictated by the harness it is covering.

Q: What is the difference between Hook & Loop and Velcro?

A: “Hook & Loop” refers to the family of closures that utilize small loops of fiber and tiny hooks to interlock and hold material together. Velcro is the name of the company that originally created the hook-and-loop fastening system. Here at ZT we use Velcro brand fasteners as well as fasteners from other brands.
