Fabricate
ignition cables that beat the heat
With proven Silastic® brand silicone high-consistency rubber
(HCR) elastomers, you can fabricate ignition cables that:
-
Maintain their flexibility at continuous high temperatures above 200ºC
(392ºF) -- temperatures organic rubber materials cannot match
-
Provide critical dielectric
(electrical insulating) protection required for automotive high voltage
cables
-
Resist oil and fuel
Make your products stand out
For aftermarket spark plug wire applications, Silastic elastomers can
be pigmented to provide the distinctive colors your
customers demand.
Manufacture your products with ease and efficiency
Extrusion coating of ignition cable offers fast processing and a smooth
tack-free surface. Silastic HCR elastomers can be fed directly into an
extruder without additional preparation.
Work with our experts and take advantage of our processing expertise to:
-
Increase your line speed
-
Attain better quality consistency
Improve
product reliability and performance

Specify the right elastomer
For high voltage ignition wire and spark
plug cables, we recommend a high consistency rubber (HCR) elastomer
with a durometer between 50 and 70 Shore A, which can withstand temperatures as
high as 260º C (500º F) and is able to be easily continuous-fed into extruder
for either CV or HAV cure systems.
