Application

Silicone cables are employed where insulations are subjected to extreme changes in temperature . They are heat resistant up to 180 Deg C , intermittently 220 Deg C .Due to good resistance in all weather conditions these cables can also be employed at temperatures as low as - 60 Deg C .
Upon and after combustion a residue of pure silica is produced and the cables continue to function . However, it is usual to provide a glass braid around the cable to prevent a break down of the silica during and after a fire . Silicone cables are halogen free and are most suitable for power plants . They have become indispensable in a wide range of industrial sectors , in foundries , steel and hot rolling mills, cooking equipment , cement , glass and ceramic factories, ship and aircraft construction , and oil burners.
