This is an alternative to lead sheath and can be used in cable tray, conduit or direct burial to connect electrical instrumentation and communication circuits in industrial process controls. This protection has lower weight and smaller diameter compared to lead sheath.
Excellent protection against corrosion, humidity, in petrochemical plants.
Temperature range
-20 °C to +80 °C (for general use);
-40 °C to +90 °C (on request).
20 times the outer diameter.
