Ensure
cable integrity and safety
Insulate. Protect. Resist fire and flame.
When you need to keep the electricity flowing, you can depend on the proven
insulating and protective power of
SILASTIC® brand silicone elastomers from Dow Corning.
Silicone elastomers have inherently good electrical insulating qualities and
are nonconductive by nature. You can use them to:
-
Protect electrical wires and cables from a wide range of operating
conditions and fire emergency challenges, including searing heat and freezing cold,
corrosion, moisture, oil, ozone, and flame
-
Improve overall cable integrity and cable safety
-
Help safeguard the performance of electrical wires and cables used in
conjunction with fire alarms and fire emergency back-up systems
-
Reduce exposure to smoke and toxic and corrosive fumes caused by degrading
wires in the event of a fire
-
Prevent shorts, flashovers, circuit failures, and shutdowns
Because they are so resistant to environmental stress, Silastic
silicone elastomers maintain their insulation properties longer than other
materials. This can extend the service life of your electrical wire, cable,
circuits, and systems.
Resistance to fire, flames, smoke, and fumes
Silicone elastomers are better able to protect sensitive wires and
circuits from heat, fire, and flame than thermal plastics and organic
elastomers and can be custom
compounded to meet a wide range of fire-resistant cable, flame-resistant
cable, low-smoke cable, and low-toxicity cable, and low-corrosivity cable
requirements.
