Benefits

• Longer service life in harsh conditions than conventional silicone cables
• Notch- and tear-resistant silicone compounds reduce damage resulting from mechanical stress
• Due to the use of special additives in EWKF silicone, armoured cable versions may not be required
• Good flexibility simplifies installation where space is limited
• The remaining SiO₂ ash has insulating properties after combustion

Application range

• Areas with high ambient temperatures and occasional mechanical stress
• 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

• EWKF formula:Initial tear – continued tearing – notch resistance
• Halogen-free (IEC 60754-1), corrosiveness of the gases (IEC 60754-2), flame-retardant (IEC 60332-1-2)
• 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

Norm references / approvals

• Based on EN 50525-2-83
