High Temperature Cables

SIHF - Silicone Control Cable

Product application:

Suitable where PVC insulated cables become brittle due to high temperature variations. Silicone insulated single

cores are commonly used in the metallurgical industry, steel works, hot rolling mills, coking plants, foundries

etc. The insulation consists of silicone rubber. It is resistant to vegetable and animal fat, many types of oil and

diluted acids. No decomposition occurs when exposed to alcohol, alkaline solutions etc. The insulation is

resistant to oxygen and ozone. Should the cable burn, a silicone dioxide layer will remain on the conductor to

render it short circuit proof.

Product characteristic:

Properties:

Advantages

Hardly changes of dielectric strength and the insulation resistance also at high temperatures, high ignition or

flash point, in case of fire, forms an insulating layer of SiO2

Resistant to

High molecular oils, fats from vegetables and animals, alcohols, plasticizers and clophenes, diluted acids, lye and

salt dissolution, oxidation substances, tropical influences and weather, lake water, oxygen and UV

Halogen-free

According to DIN VDE 0482 part 267/ EN 50267-2-2/ IEC 60754-2 (equivalent DIN VDE 0472 part 813)

Behavior in fire

No flame propagation

Test according to DIN VDE 0482 part 265-2-1/ EN 50265-2-1/ IEC 60332-1 (equivalent DIN VDE 0472 part 804

test method B)

For laying as a fixed installation only in open or ventilated pipe systems as well as in ducts. Otherwise the

mechanical properties of the silicon are reduced by the enclosed air at temperatures exceeding 90°C.
