Benefits

• Certified for the USA and Canada for export-oriented appliance and apparatus manufacturers
• Thicker cable design meets the requirements of the FT-1 flame test and is therefore approved for the external connection of apparatus and appliances
• Good flexibility simplifies installation where space is limited
• Copper braiding complies with EMC requirements and screens the cable against electromagnetic interference

Application range

• Areas with high ambient temperatures where insulating and sheath materials of conventional cables will become brittle and perish after a short period
• Typical fields of application
  – Steel, ceramic and smelting works
  – Bakery equipment and industrial furnaces
  – Electric motor industry
  – Sauna/sunbed construction
  – Thermal and heating elements
  – Lighting technology
  – Ventilator engineering
  – Air-conditioning technology
  – Galvanisation technology
  – Plastic processing
  – Generator and transformer manufacturing
  – Wind power plant construction

Product features

• Halogen-free (IEC 60754-1), corrosiveness of the gases (IEC 60754-2)
• Flame-retardant according to IEC 60332-1-2, Cable Flame Test, CSA FT 1
• Good hydrolysis and UV resistance
• Resistant to a multitude of oils, alcohols, vegetable and animal fats and chemical substances
• Adequate ventilation must be ensured, since the mechanical properties of silicone cables prematurely decrease from +100°C in the absence of air
