Wire and Cable
Silastic® high
consistency silicone rubber is the right coating for insulated wire and
insulated cable such as:
-
UL wire
-
Power and control cable
-
Communication cable
These are demanding applications requiring materials to insulate the
electrical or control cables from the environment in which they are
situated. Silastic silicone rubber is ideal for these uses, because
of its high temperature
resistance, good dielectrics and fire resistance. (Our
high consistency silicone rubber conforms to Low Smoke Low Toxicity
requirements.) Silicone rubber also offers good abrasion resistance and oil resistance for those
applications that demand it.
Wire and safety cables are coated with silicone rubber by using an extrusion process,
which has the advantages of fast processing speed and results in a smooth,
tact-free surface with no blocking on the reel. Our material can be fed
directly into the extruder without requiring any additional preparation.
