Application
At high temperatures application include heating elemens, lighting, manufacturing, and food processing and for control circuits where heat is involved. At low temperatures Silicone insulated cables are used in cold stores and refrigeration plants for lighting, portable equipment and motor feeds.
Temperature Rating : Flexing -25 0C to +1800C
At high temperatures the cable perform normally. In the case of a fire, the Silicone change to from an insulated layer of SiO2 which, provided there is no movement, will maintain cable integrity in the short term. This is important in the event of a fire where equipment needs to be shut down, lighting maintained and alarm system remains operational. Silicone is relatively inert, that is to say it gives off minimul smoke or fumes when exposed to fire. Airport, hospital, and other public building use Silicone cables to wire alarm, lighting and other essential service.
