PMA EcoGuard PA6 cable protection solutions

Click2Contact

The PMA EcoGuard PA6 cable protection solutions are manufactured from 50% recycled polyamide mainly from recovered fishing nets. Engineered for strength, durability, compatibility and recyclability PMA EcoGuard solutions are designed to protect power and data cables in a range of applications, including machine building, renewable energy and infrastructure.

PMA EcoGuard PA6 RPPA conduit is part of PMA’s EcoSolutions range of sustainable solutions, meets key performance indicators defined in ABB’s circularity framework, and carries an external, third-party verified Lifecycle Assessment (LCA, Type III).

A sustainable alternative to conventional plastic-based systems, PMA EcoGuard PA6 RPPA conduit requires less energy and water to produce, reducing 30% of upstream Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions and 50% of net freshwater use.

EcoGuard PA6 gives users a post-consumer, recycle-based nylon cable protection solution that can easily integrate with machinery and systems and help reduce risk, waste and negative environmental impact.

PMA EcoGuard cable protection products include Envalior’s Akulon RePurposed, a 100% recycled-based polyamide from fishing nets recovered from coastlines. In addition to benefiting local economies and the environment, the Akulon RePurposed compound is UL2809 ECVP-certified for OceanBound Plastic (OBP) content and employs production processes that are said to result in a 70% lower carbon footprint than similar fossil-based nylon 6 materials.

PA6 RPPA conduit is a flexible and lightweight corrugated nylon conduit that is UV- and weather-resistant, while BRND fittings help prevent liquid and dust ingress and are IP66 rated, and the compact, one-piece BFHRP conduit holder lends support and adjusts for easy installation and maintenance.
