We offer PVC and Nylon coatings for galvanized or stainless steel wire rope. The standard colors for the coatings are black, clear and white. Others colors are available upon request.

It is required that the coating is stripped from the wire rope where the fittings are applied in order to achieve the nominal breaking strength of the wire rope.

POLY-VINYL-CHLORIDE (PVC)
Is a very common type of plastic coating for wire rope. It is a very cost effective, weather resistant and flexible. The operating temperature range of the vinyl used as a coating on our wire rope is between -30°F (-35°C) and + 180°F (=80°C). Our PVC coatings are mostly (90) Durometer (Shore A) on the hardness scale. This is very common in the industry, but can be modified to meet special requirements where heat or abrasion may be a factor. Please call us if you have a special application we can help to fulfill.

NYLON:
A very abrasion resistant plastic formulated for use over pulleys and offers exceptional service in extremely cold climates. Nylon coatings are typically not as flexible as PVC. However, Aero Assemblies, Inc., offers many varieties that are surprisingly as flexible as PVC. Chemical resistance is considered good with a wide temperature range of between -65° F (-54°C) to +230°F (+110°C). Please call us with your application to find the proper coating to meet your requirements.
