Battery Pack Encapsulation – Performance heat shrinks are commonly used to encapsulate battery packs. FEP is often the solution of choice to help protect the battery pack from moisture and chemicals while providing an additional thermal barrier.

Core Sampling Encapsulation – For the oil and gas industry, Zeus offers several heat shrinks made from PEEKshrink™, FEP, and PFA that allow customers to insulate core samples and apply a durable, chemically inert skin or jacket. These heat shrinks keep core samples intact for later analysis.

Electrical / Wire Splicing – Zeus offers an extensive line of high–temperature insulation products to protect electrical components from extremes of heat, shock, moisture, abrasion, and other environmental conditions. Our insulated wires are used in electromechanical applications such as electric motors, generators, transformers, and solenoids. We also offer multiple heat shrink options for splicing to eliminate labor-intensive films and numerous tape turns.

Fiber Optic Jacketing – Zeus extrusions can be applied directly over critical optical fibers to provide protection and increase abrasion resistance. Furcation tubing easily slides over optical fibers without damaging the delicate devices and helps to decrease strain and friction. Multi-lumen tubing allows multiple channels through which fibers can be inserted into a single outside diameter tubing. We also provide engineered surface options that help reduce friction and drag force.

Slot Liner Insulation – For motor building, we offer tubing and extruded profiles in a range of materials that can be used for slot liner insulation. Annealing options are available to increase dimensional stability at high temperature ranges.

Wire Harnessing – Zeus provides an array of products for harnessing and insulating wires, cables, hoses, and other unwieldy bundles. Our products provide protection from chafing, heat, corrosion, shock, and moisture.

Customized Extrusion – We routinely provide custom profiles and multi-lumen extrusions in a variety of resins. We can create spline shapes commonly used to center wiring, reduce vibration impact, and allow air and moisture passage. Specialized shapes can provide individual isolation of wires in multiple lumens. Spiral wrap and convoluted tubing provide stability and abrasion resistance for wire harnessing applications.

Heat Shrink – These products provide a proven method for applying a tight, protective shrink-to-fit covering to items subjected to extreme heat, corrosion, shock, moisture, and other environmental conditions. We manufacture high-performance heat shrink tubing from a variety of polymer resins. Our heat shrink products perform in both high and low temperature applications with expansion ratios up to 4:1.

PEEK Insulated Wire – Also referred to as magnet wire, this product has excellent dielectric strength and a continuous service temperature up to 500 °F (260 °C). Used in electric motors, generators, transformers, solenoids, and other electromechanical equipment, this product offers outstanding abrasion resistance and the capability to tolerate moisture.

PEEKshrink™ – Featuring all of the benefits of PEEK, PEEKshrink™ takes performance to a new level. This advanced product provides a “shrink-to-fit” layer of protection for environmentally sensitive or critical components. PEEKshrink™ is ideally suited for challenging environments where abrasion, intense pressure, chemicals, water, or dielectric interference pose a threat to wires and electrical components. Like PEEK tubing, this alternative to traditional fluoropolymer protective coatings allows a continuous service temperature of 500 °F (260 °C) and extends the life of the protected components. PEEKshrink™ adheres to metals and is available in colors.

PTFE / FEP Dual-Shrink™ – This specialty product is constructed with an exterior of PTFE heat shrink and an inner layer of FEP. Our Dual-Shrink™ provides a tight, moisture-resistant bond over wires, cables, connectors, splices, terminals, and other components. The PTFE shrinks tightly over inserted parts when the covered section is heated, while the FEP melts and flows into a solid or near-solid encapsulation with a tight fit to withstand stresses involving pull or vibration.

Reinforced Optical Fibers  – Our polymer reinforced optical fibers have an additional polymer layer to protect your optical fiber from environmental extremes, including temperature (high and low), pressure, radiation, and moisture absorption. They also provide chemical resistance and impart added structural support.

ETFE – A copolymer of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene, this material affords excellent resistance to impact, abrasion, and stress cracking. ETFE possesses outstanding toughness, stiffness, and durability, all while being chemically inert. The material can be extruded in multiple forms, including flexible convoluted tubing and heat shrink.

FEP – This melt-processable fluoropolymer is a preferred choice where high clarity and flexibility are most important. The material has low gas permeability, possesses an excellent UV transmission rating, is gamma sterilizable, and features excellent dielectric strength. FEP can be manufactured in long, continuous lengths, and can also be made into heat shrink that meets AS23053/11 standards.

PEEK – This high-performance engineered polymer has excellent endurance to heat and one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any thermoplastic. This material can be used as an alternative to materials such as aluminum, steel, glass, and even other polymers. PEEK tubing is lightweight and able to withstand operating temperatures of 500 ºF (260 ºC). This tubing tolerates high burst pressures, is thermoformable, resistant to wear and impact, and possesses exceptional torsion stability.

PFA – This fluoropolymer is known for its ability to maintain its mechanical integrity in extreme temperatures, even when exposed to caustic chemicals. PFA can withstand temperature environments of up to 500 ºF (260 ºC) and can also be extruded in convoluted tubing forms that provide a highly flexible conduit. PFA exhibits excellent lubricity, clarity, and flexibility. PFA is also available in high purity versions that are SEMI F-57 certified.

PTFE – The unique properties of this material have made it the gold standard for industries requiring top-flight performance in lubricity, high temperature use, chemical resistance, and precision tolerances. PTFE has a working temperature of up to 500 °F (260 °C) and has the lowest coefficient of friction of any polymer; it is also chemically resistant to all common solvents, including acids and bases.

PVDF – This polymer delivers high performance at a competitive cost. Also known as Kynar®, PVDF is characterized by low permeability as well as strong abrasion and chemical resistance. This tubing possesses a host of properties that make it useful in a variety of applications that need flexibility without sacrificing performance.
