Cable and wire

Our silicones are suitable for a wide range of applications including power cabling, data cabling, control cabling, instrumentation cabling and accessories.

The mineral make-up of silicone makes the material uniquely suitable for fire-resistant cables, which have to maintain circuit integrity if a fire breaks out. For fire-resistant cabling, we deposit a film of fused silicone on to the conductor, providing substantial insulation properties. We can also enhance further the strength of the fused silicone through the application of special additives.

The characteristics that give silicone rubber almost unlimited potential

  • Outstanding low-temperature flexibility and high-temperature resistance
  • Excellent compression set
  • High resistance to chemicals and environmental influences
  • Water-repellent surface
  • High transparency, almost no limits on pigmentation
  • Good mechanical properties
  • Good flame resistance, non-toxic combustion products in the event of a fire
  • Neutral taste and odour
  • Easy to process
  • Can be adjusted from electrical insulating to semiconducting
  • Good radiation resistance
