Overview
- White in Color
- Environmentally Friendly (Non-PVC)
- Good Flexibility & High Tear Resistance
- Flame Retardant (NFPA-701 & FAR 25.853a)
- Multiple Closure Systems
- -40° To 71°C Operational Temperature Range
RPU-17 is a medium-weight, fire-retardant, poly(ether) urethane-coated polyester-fabric jacket material, engineered to provide a tough, flexible, and environmentally friendly alternative to PVC-based cable jackets. The durable polyester-fabric core offers exceptional tear resistance, making it ideal for demanding applications where reliability is critical. Its versatility allows it to be combined with a range of Zippertubing EMI Shielding materials, creating robust dual-purpose EMI-hardened jacket assemblies. Custom designs can also incorporate features such as mechanical zippers, hook and loop closures, stainless steel snap buttons, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and interlocking track closures to meet specific application needs.
Polyurethane, as a non-PVC material, avoids the environmental and health risks associated with PVC, such as the release of harmful phthalates, plasticizers, and chlorine-based compounds over time. This makes RPU-17 an excellent choice for medical and cleanroom environments, where the use of toxic materials could lead to contamination, outgassing, and compromise strict hygiene standards.
The white color of the RPU-17 jacket not only enhances its suitability for medical and cleanroom settings but also contributes to maintaining cleanliness. The light-colored polyurethane material allows for easier detection of contaminants, enabling faster identification and removal of particles or stains. Additionally, its smooth surface facilitates easy cleaning and disinfection, ensuring compliance with the high hygiene requirements and low particulate counts essential in these environments.
