Drag & Mechanical Wear

High-Abrasion Environments

Survives dragging across concrete, cable carriers, and sharp steel edges without gouging or splitting.

The Environment

Built For High-Abrasion Environments

Where cables drag across concrete, pull through cable carriers, or rub against steel edges, a soft jacket wears out fast. Crosslinking hardens the jacket's molecular structure so it resists cutting and abrasion while staying flexible enough to handle.

High-Abrasion Environments
How It Works

What the beam actually changes

The crosslinked network raises the jacket's tensile strength and tear resistance without making it rigid. That combination lets the surface absorb repeated mechanical contact — dragging, scraping, and flexing — without gouging or splitting.

  • Withstands dragging across concrete and steel
  • Resists cuts and gouges from sharp edges
  • Survives repeated cycling through cable carriers
  • Tough surface without sacrificing flexibility
