Gnarly Wraps™ Hose and Cable protection systems provide excellent protection
of hydraulic and pneumatic hoses and delicate cables prone to abrasion and chafing.
Made in America from genuine Rubber Duc™ 18 oz. Coated Vinyl . Closure consists
of Industrial Hook & Loop fastener rated for over 1,000 open and close cycles.
Our open wrap, 'peelable' design makes installation fast and easy, without
requiring disconnection or removal of cables and hoses. Cuts labor costs significantly
compared to old tube type abrasion sleeves. This post assembly feature of Gnarly
Wraps™ helps eliminate costly maintenance and downtime of your machinery and
equipment by reducing hydraulic system contamination and wear and tear on connectors
and terminals that is prone to happen during removal and replacement required for
older, tube type sleeves.
Our selection of optional trim allows for color coding, night time visibility and
safety, as well as hose or cable content marking. Polypro webbing is available safety
yellow, safety orange, safety red, blue, dark green, brown, grey and white. Other
industrial color coded webbing is available with very low minimum orders. Reflective
webbing trim featuring 3M Scotchlite™ for night time visibility is also available
with Neon Orange or Neon Yellow backing. See trim specifications below
What is Rubber Duc™ 18 oz. Coated Vinyl
Rubber Duc is an all-around high performance material. Constructed from a woven
Polyester core with a heavy coating of specially formulated, flame resistant vinyl.
Weighs a full 18 ounces per square yard.
Completely waterproof and is usable in temperatures down to 55F below zero. Available
in 9 Industrial colors.
This material is Vinyl COATED, not laminated Vinyl. There is a difference. Laminated
vinyl is made by "sandwiching" a polyester substrate between two layers
of vinyl and rolling it together with heat and pressure to bond this "sandwich"
together. Under ideal conditions this bond is adequate to keep the material from
peeling apart or "delaminating" as the industry calls it. Over time and
with usage in extreme conditions this bond may begin to fail. (dramatically in some
cases).
Coated Vinyl is made basically by running the polyester substrate through a vat
of molten vinyl, cooling it slightly and then rolling it through steel rollers to
give it an even texture and thickness. This coating process bonds the vinyl to the
polyester core on a microscopic level, much more fully than laminating; creating
a superior bond and a monolithic (one piece) composite.
*This material is also available in Berry Compliant Mil-Spec Certified: Mil-C-20696E
Minimum orders, increased pricing, and significant lead times may apply for the
Mil-Spec certified version of this material. Please contact us for purchasing details.
