Description
With Texform all joints are sealed, giving a watertight jacket that can be hosed clean. Velcro materials can allow freezing and contamination and so straps are used instead. Draw cords can be incorporated if required and can be replaced easily if contaminated.
Upper limiting temperature is 90°C but there are also more specialised sealable materials, again glass free, that can withstand temperatures of up to 320°C.
Jackets can be designed in a number of colours to suit services being carried and for specific aesthetics.
The production process allows for quite complex shapes and with such a hardy material there is little need for maintenance. If the material is damaged it can easily be repaired with handheld equipment.
With prices similar to other glass fibre jackets, the extended lifespan of a sealed jacket makes them a cost-effective solution.
