Coated Aircraft Cable and Wire Rope
We’re experts at plastic coating extrusions for wire rope and aircraft cable with decades of experience and our in-house coating process consisting of a jacketing application via pressurized extrusion. We supply nylon as well as polyvinyl chloride, also known as PVC or vinyl, coated wire rope and aircraft cable on reels, in pre-cut lengths, or fabricated into assemblies.
Please let us know if you require RoHS or REACH compliant coated wire rope. Upon special request, we can also supply coatings such as HDPE, Hytrel, and FEP.
PVC Coating
PVC coating is used for general purpose applications due to its aesthetics, ergonomics, protection, and visibility. It is suited for use in a wide variety of environments including indoors, outdoors, wet, dry, or exposed UV light. Our PVC coatings are available in a wide variety of translucent, opaque, and high-visibility colors. If one of our standard colors does not match your organization or product’s color scheme, we are happy to quote you a custom color.

Nylon Coating
Nylon coatings deliver improved endurance in high friction applications with its higher temperature rating and hardness protecting the inner-cable from fraying. Typical nylon applications include:
- Cycling over pulleys and sheaves
- Fitness cables
- Conveyor cables
- Push-push control actuation
- And more
There are two nylon product families that we coat: nylon-6 and nylon-11. Nylon-6 is standard grade and the more economical nylon option which is typically recommended for residential applications of fitness cables. Nylon-11 is the highest quality option which is slightly more flexible and recommended for maximizing life cycles in the most demanding applications such as push-pull control applications. Nylon coatings are available in a wide range of colors with quotes for custom colors available if our standard colors do not match your preferred color scheme.
