Z-Wrap (RPU) Infographic
  • Fire-retardant, polyurethane-coated polyester jacketing
  • Acrylic adhesive is solvent, humidity, and U.V. resistant
  • Wrap-around product requires no tools for installation – just remove liner and seal closed

Z-Wrap® (RPU) is a permanent, wrap-around cable bundling and protection solution that utilizes our RPU-17 jacketing paired with a high-strength adhesive. The RPU-17 jacketing is made of a flexible, white reinforced polyurethane that is resistant to many fluids, chemicals, and oils, as well as being best in resistance to abrasion. The jacketing is also fire retardant, offers decent flexibility, and contains no PVC material. The fiber-reinforced acrylic adhesive generates a strong bond and a secure seal. The adhesive has excellent resistance to solvent, humidity, and U.V. The adhesive also has a paper release liner allowing for a quick and clean application.

The installation of Z-Wrap® (RPU) can be accomplished quickly, saving time and resources without the hassle of disassembly. Z-Wrap® (RPU) requires no tools for installation; just wrap around the wire or cable, remove the paper release liner from the adhesive strip, and seal. Z-Wrap® (RPU) can also be cut to any desired length with a pair of standard scissors.

Z-Wrap® (RPU) is offered in diameters ranging from 0.375” to 8”, with custom sizes available upon request. The operational temperature range is -40°F to 160°F (-40°C to 71°C).

* Z-Wrap® (RPU) 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.

Q:  What lengths of Z-Wrap jacketing are available?

A:  Typical spool lengths for most sizes are 100 feet, but will depend on total order footage.  Custom lengths can be provided, just make sure to ask when ordering or include details on the PO for the lengths required.

Q:  Can I cut the tubing?

A:  Yes.  Standard scissors are suitable for cutting
through most Z-Wrap sleeves. 

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:  What is the minimum bend radius of the tubing?

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

Q:  Do you have any tips for installation?

A:  For the best installation, make sure the sleeving and work area are clean and free of contaminants that could prevent the adhesive from sticking.  Only remove the release liner when you are ready to install the product and avoid touching the exposed adhesive strip.  Finally, once installed, it is best to apply firm press ure to the overlap area to ensure the PSA is well
bonded.

Q:  Can I remove and reinstall the sleeving?

A:  Z-Wrap, adhesively closed, products are not designed to be removed and re-used like many of our
other wrap-around solutions.  These products are intended to be installed once and to retain a strong, water-tight, bonded closure.
