Fluoropolymer insulated cables offer excellent flexibility and high performance in terms of chemical resistance, electrical properties, and thermal stability, with a working temperature range of -200°C to +280°C.
These cables are an ideal solution for critical environments such as chemical and petrochemical plants.
Additionally, when exposed to direct flames, fluoropolymer cables do not propagate the flame and will stop burning once the flame source is removed.
Key properties of fluoropolymer cables:
High temperature resistance
Universal chemical resistance
Exceptional electrical properties
Siccet utilizes the following fluoropolymers for the insulation and sheathing of its cables:
- PTFE
- PFA
- FEP
Temperature Resistance
PTFE: continuous operating temperature from -200°C to +280°C, with peaks over 300°C
PFA: continuous operating temperature up to -200°C to +260°C
FEP: continuous operating temperature from -200°C to +205°C
Electrical Properties
Fully fluorinated polymers maintain excellent insulation properties (dielectric constant 2,1) and resistance to voltage, regardless of temperature or aging. Siccet's fluoropolymer cables can thus be used for applications requiring reduced thickness.
Chemical Resistance
Fluoropolymers exhibit excellent resistance to corrosive and inorganic chemicals, including inorganic bases, oxidizing acids, mineral acids, metal saline solutions, and peroxides. They also show outstanding resistance to organic chemicals such as anhydrides, hydrocarbons, aromatic mixtures, esters, ketones, and amines.
