Abstract: A protective member for protecting electric wires includes: a non-woven cloth layer having flexibility and made of a chlorine-free resin; and an outer resin layer laminated monolithically on outer surface of the non-woven cloth layer, and made of a chlorine-free and fire-retardant resin, wherein a thickness of the outer resin layer is configured to be not more than a thickness of the non-woven cloth layer, and wherein a total thickness of the non-woven cloth layer and the outer resin layer is configured to have a predetermined wear resistance.

Abstract: A wire harness protective material comprising a tape-like substrate made of a nonhalogen-based resin or vinyl chloride resin coated with an adhesive comprising an acrylic resin as a main component on at least one side thereof. Preferably, the adhesive and/or the substrate comprises an age resistor and/or a copper inhibitor incorporated therein. The content of the age resistor is defined to be from 10% to 500% based on the content of the age resistor in the covering material for the wire coated with a nonhalogen-based resin in the bundle of wires on which the wire harness protective material is wound. The content of the copper inhibitor is defined to be from 0.001 to 5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the adhesive resin component or from 0.001 to 5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the substrate resin component.

Abstract: A harness-protecting material and wire harness comprises a base material which comprises two faces, at least one face of which is coated with an adhesive. The base material comprises a base organic material portion which includes a base polymer portion formed of a halogen-free resin or a substantially halogen-free resin. The adhesive comprises an adhesive adjuvant which contains at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a hydrogenated terpene-type resin, a hydrogenated aromatic resin, a hydrogenated aliplatic-type resin, a cumarone-indene type resin, a phenol-type resin and a styrene-type resin. The adhesive may contain acrylic acid-type resin as base polymer portion. The base material and/or adhesive may contain an anti-oxidizing agent, a copper damage inhibitor and/or an adsorbent.
