As a manufacturer, distributor and provider of the market’s largest inventory of heat shrink tubing, wire connectors, cables ties and related products, Nelco strives to ensure all our customers get to take full advantage of our products and knowledge.

That’s why we’re here to give you the 411 on spiral wrap.

What is Spiral Wrap?

Spiral wrap is a versatile and flexible way to organize, protect and maintain cable and wiring systems. The solution safeguards while allowing for later maintenance, which typically might require the breakout of multiple components for replacement or re-routing within the bundle. This is usually not an option, as the conventional bundle application often requires a complete disconnect of the wrap to perform any new work.

Where Would You Use this Product?

Like any other tool of this type, you would apply the wrap when you want to minimize the hazard of abrasion and other risks to your wires, cables, hoses or other elements. You could apply spiral wrap to computer wiring or use it to wrap a hose that’s constantly being moved around. Spiral wrap is distinguished by its ability to provide greater room for alteration in the system later on.

Choosing Spiral Wrap

Like many of our products, spiral wrap is available in a wide range of different sizes, lengths and materials, giving you a vast array of choices sure to fit any application. We suggest you take these factors into consideration when choosing spiral wrap.

If you’re looking at a project that isn’t threatened by forces like extreme temperatures or abrasive chemicals, you can go with cost effective polyethylene spiral wrap. It’s a perfect indoor and outdoor resource that won’t degrade over time.

Spiral wrap designed with PTFE has the widest operating temperature range. Non-flammable and chemically inert, you can’t do better for projects where smoke, moisture, flame and other contaminants need to be considered.

Nylon is the best choice where fire and smoke are strong possibilities. The material is abrasion resistant and self-extinguishing. That why it’s popular in engine and industrial applications and used to protect hydraulic hoses from damage. You can also get a nylon spiral wrap resistant to sun damage.

We like to boast that we know spiral wrap, as well as heat shrink tubing and zip ties, better than anyone else around. That’s why you can rest easy, knowing that we can handle any question you might have. Nelco is more than ready to share three decades of expertise and customer service with you!
