Zip-On^® (RPU)

RPU-17 is a medium-weight, fire retardant poly(ether) urethane-coated polyester-fabric jacket material designed to provide a tough, flexible, non-PVC cable jacket. The Polyester-fabric core makes RPU-17 ideal in applications where a high degree of tear resistance is required. It can be combined with most Zippertubing EMI Shielding materials to create EMI-hardened jacket assemblies. Custom designs utilizing mechanical zippers, hook-n-loop, stainless steel snap buttons, pressure sensitive adhesives and track closures are available. RPU-17 is white in color, making it ideal for medical and clean room applications where PVC-based materials are restricted.

<ul> <li>The first version is made of Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) that is available in a standard color of white, but can be pigmented to other colors. </li> <li>The second version of EZ-Track® is made of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and is only available in black. </li> </ul> <p>Either of these products can be used as a single extrusion, be added to one another for a new diameter, or for an even larger diameter, by upgrading the product and adhere one of Zippertubing's jacketing materials together.<br> <em>Some Zippertubing products (including EZ-Track® TPU) may experience roll memory or curling when removed from their spool and readied for install. This is normal for flexible polymer extruded tracks and jacketing, especially if they are kept in storage for an extended amount of time. If the material curl is making the installation difficult, gently apply heat (with a hair dryer or equivalent) to soften the material and allow for more flexibility and easier handling.</em></p>
