How It Works
A specially formulated sheath compound additive has been produced which retains it’s Low Smoke Halogen Free properties, but gains the rodent repellent properties. This compound works on 3 main principles of a rodent’s behaviour:
- Aversion by the rodent, it is extremely foul tasting.
- Discomfort to the rodent, it upsets the soft tissues of the mouth and nose.
- Fear to the rodent, it evokes the rodent’s natural fear to the smell of a predator’s urine.
It has been shown with this formulated compound additive the incidence of bites on a cable is considerably reduced. It sounds bad for the rodent, but the sheath is non-hazardous, nontoxic and environmentally safe, safe to handle by people.*
*Always good to wash hands after handling FlexishieldR cables.
