Component elements include plastic convoluted tubing, metal core conduit, shielding, jacketing, fittings, adapters, transitions and other accessories. Glenair's plastic convoluted tubing provides a durable, highly flexible enclosure for wiring systems, with end-fittings and transition fittings to meet almost any application requirement. Glenair's Series 72 and 74 conduit is available in the industry's broadest range of materials. As this product line represents a potentially huge opportunity for business growth, it makes sense for everyone in the company to become conversant with the materials used in building this "growth" product:
Kynar - Kynar is the trade name for polyvinylidene, an opaque black thermally stable material used as a standard in the manufacture of Series 72 convoluted tubing. It is highly resistant to gamma radiation.
PTFE - Polytetrafluoroethylene is stable up to 260oC, and is the most expensive of the optional Series 74 convoluted tubing materials. It is available in opaque black or transparent clear.
ETFE - Also known as Tefzel, ethylene tetrafluoroethylne provides the highest tensile strength and lubricity, and is an optional Series 74 convoluted tubing material. It is available in opaque black or transparent clear.
PFA - Perfluoralkoxy, like PTFE, is thermally stable up to 260oC, is available in opaque black or transparent clear, and is an optional Series 74 convoluted tubing material.
FEP - Fluorinated ethylene propylene is the least expensive of the Series 74 convoluted tubing optional materials, and is thermally stable up to 204oC. It, too, is available in opaque black or transparent clear.
PEEK - Polyetheretherketone is halogen free, lightweight, thermally stable up to 200oC, and provides high crush resistance. A Series 74 convoluted tubing optional material, it can be ordered in opaque black or transparent natural. |
