Heat resistant cables

Teflon and silicone are among some of the most popular insulating compounds within a wide range of different markets. Typically, these reliable insulations are used in all applications where the temperature exceeds 150°C.

Generally, Teflon is used in applications that require heat resistance, corrosion resistance and friction or wear resistance. With strong, durable constructions, Teflon insulated wire and cable is ready to take on any demanding application.

Silicone is like Teflon in the context of temperature and voltage ratings but is unique in plenty of other ways. Silicone is one of the most flexible cables that can perform within harsh high-temperature applications. The increased flexibility enables these cables to be used in difficult to reach locations and areas that may be subject to consistent maintenance. Silicone is additionally resistant against ozone, weathering, and ageing, as well as UV-radiation and radioactive rays.

Additionally, also TPE compounds and crosslinked polymers can provide good temperature resistance, never reaching Teflon/Silicone standards.
