formulated to be oil, alkaline & UV resistant. The material is also flame retardant and the colors are brilliant to insure against improper connections.
The new design is fully compatible with the industry standards, but has superior design features including:
- Innovative tool design that completely eliminated all parting lines across the mating cylindrical ends
- Double-raised o-ring beads on both the male and the female connectors
- Proprietary material that is self-lubricating. The interference fit between the male and female connectors is significantly tighter than the industry standard, but the proprietary material component that leaches out the surface continuously lubricates the connector resulting in increase spark protection without increased difficulty in making the connection.
Producing a self-lubricating compound that was processable in the mold proved difficult initially, but the strategic partnerships with our rubber material suppliers resulted in a compound that worked. The next step was to duplicate the physical properties in eight different colors, from vibrant yellow and orange, to deep red and green.
Ultimately, our customer's design enhancements, and our ability to produce near-perfect parts consistently has resulted in the premium product reputation in the industry.
