ÖLFLEX Heat 180 Silicon cable range

Click2Contact

LAPP Australia’s range of ÖLFLEX Heat 180 Silicon cables are built to handle the heat, in temperatures up to 180°C.

These robust control cables are made with silicon insulation and sheath compounds, which makes them suitable for much higher ambient temperatures. However, because it is made of silicon, the sheath is softer and easier to damage compared to a traditional PVC cable.

The ÖLFLEX Heat 180 Silicon cable range is suited to machine and plant construction, as well as tool-building and manufacturing applications that require flexibility of movement, with high temperature resistances. Other applications include steel, ceramic and iron works; bakery and industrial furnaces; electric motor manufacturing; HVAC and ventilator technology; and galvanisation technology.

The flexibility of these cables simplifies installation where spaces are limited. Additionally, the cables possess insulating properties after combustion due to remaining SiO2 ash on the conductor.

According to the company, the cables perform well in applications with high ambient temperatures where insulating and sheath materials of conventional cables will embrittle after a short while, but silicon does not.

The cables are also halogen-free and flame retardant, and they contain no corrosive gases. They are resistant to a range of oils, alcohols, vegetable and animal fats, and chemical substances.

LAPP Australia has local stock of the ÖLFLEX Heat 180 range, as well as a local team to support with product specification Australia-wide.
