AmerCable TPU JacketsFor extremely abrasive environments, AmerCable’sThermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) jacket providesthe extra-tough physical characteristics needed in the roughest mining environments.Compared to AmerCable’s standardCPE jacketing material, TPU provides:

5X more abrasion resistance

2X more tear resistance

2X more tensile strength

AmerCable CPE JacketsAmerCable’s thermoset Chlorinated Polyethylene jacket provides the physical performance andstrength needed to resist wear, tear, abrasion andcompression cuts caused by everyday mining use.

This tough, durable jacket is a proven performer in mines throughout the world. AmerCable’s engineered cable construction includes a taped-core,integral fill and tandem extrusion of the jacket layers.Two-pass jackets, extruded in tandem, yield an inseparable bond between the layers. Integral fillingof the cable core reduces torsion-induced damage.
