Cable protection for the shipbuilding industry: safety under harsh conditions

Cable protection is essential in the shipbuilding industry. It ensures the reliability and safety of electrical systems on board. One thing is certain: ships are exposed to extreme environmental conditions - from salt water and moisture to strong vibrations and temperature fluctuations. Techflex offers specialized cable protection solutions that meet the high demands of the shipbuilding industry and provide long-term protection.

Cable protection for harsh environments: Corrosion and abrasion resistance

Cables in the shipbuilding industry are usually in contact with moisture, salts and chemical substances. These permanent influences make them particularly susceptible to corrosion and abrasion. Specially developed protective conduits extend the service life of cables. They reduce mechanical stress and thus protect against harmful environmental influences.

With Flexo® Heavy Wall, the name speaks volumes: This is a thick-walled PET braided sleeving that offers exceptionally high abrasion resistance. It is also UV and salt water resistant. The Flexo® Heavy Wall reliably protects cables that are exposed to harsh and adverse conditions against wear.

Gorilla Sleeve®: Thanks to the innovative flat filament technology, the Gorilla Sleeve® offers extreme abrasion protection for cables and hoses. Its high resistance to petrol, UV radiation and salt water makes it ideal for use in aggressive environments.

Installation and maintenance: Flexible cable protection for the shipbuilding industry

Efficient installation and maintenance options are essential in the shipbuilding industry. Cables often have to be routed through narrow areas and checked regularly. Protective conduits with hook and loop fasteners and flexible fabric constructions make installation easier while ensuring reliable protection and easy maintenance.

The neoprene-coated Turtle Wrap with hook and loop fastener is ideal when a quick and subsequent installation is required. It protects cables from sparks and moisture. This makes it perfect for retrofitting in engine rooms or on deck.

The Gator Wrap® burst protection fabric conduit with high-performance hook and loop fastener offers maximum abrasion resistance. It is particularly suitable for applications where hoses and cables have to withstand high mechanical loads.

Cable protection for extreme conditions: Fire resistance and durability

When it comes to safety on ships, the focus is not least on fire protection. The general durability of cables under extreme conditions is also crucial for safety on board. Materials with high fire and abrasion resistance offer reliable protection in critical environments, such as engine rooms or passenger areas.

The Flexo F6® Heavy Duty is a self-closing fabric conduit with high abrasion resistance, making it the ideal abrasion conduit in areas that are subject to a lot of mechanical abrasion. Thanks to its intuitive design, there is no need to disconnect existing connections and plug connections. This makes it ideal as a protective conduit for retrofitting.
