Expandable Polyester Webbed

Sleeving

ZIP-GRP

ZIP-GRP expandable webbing

offers superb flexibility and high

tensile strength while providing

added protection against flame,

chemicals, and abrasion. With its

hook and loop fastening, wires,

cable assemblies, and wire

harnesses are always accessible

and can be easily opened for any

number of breakouts. To prevent

fraying of ends, ZIP-GRP should

be cut/sealed with a hot knife.

Lacing Tape

Alpha lacing tapes offer high

tensile strength and knot retention.

Designed to allow a wider contact

area with the insulation so that

it remains in place, lacing tape is

flexible and easy on the assembler’s

hands. Once knotted, tape resists

slipping and does not increase

diameter of harness. Nylon has

excellent tensile strength and

resists acids, abrasion, flame, and

fungus. Polyester has all the

characteristics of nylon, but has

better resistance to acids, and no

appreciable discoloration.

Tinned and Silver-Plated

Copper Braid

A tight weave of multistrand, soft

drawn copper wire, either tinned

or silver plated, copper braid is an

ideal shielding material for short-

run cables providing easy radial

termination. In retrofit applications,

provides additional shielding

efficiency. Tinned copper flat braid,

used as a ground strap, provides

an excellent, low-resistance

ground path.
