Silicone SiF, SiF-GL, SiD Singles Silicone insulated conductors offer you an economical
solution to many temperature related wiring problems. Capable of working
at extremes as far apart as -60°C right up to +180°C means that
silicone insulated cables have grown substantially in popularity.
Flexibility is retained even at very low temperatures where conventional rubber or PVC cable would become brittle and crack. At high temperatures the cable performs normally, whilst in the case of excessive heat, for example a fire, the silicone changes to form an insulating layer of SiO2 which, provided there is no movement, will maintain the cables 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 systems remain operational. Silicone is relatively inert, that is to say it gives off minimal
smoke or fumes when exposed to fire. Airports, hospitals, and other
public buildings are increasingly using silicone cables to wire alarm,
lighting, and other essential services. |
At high temperatures applications include heating
elements, 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.
