Advantages of FEP cables
Salcavi FEP cables offer thermal, chemical and electrical performance beyond the capabilities of conventional thermoplastic materials within the same operating range:
- Chemical inertness and thermal stability up to 200°C: FEP is resistant to acids, alkalis, solvents and hydrocarbons while maintaining its dielectric properties across a wide range of temperatures, with conductor temperatures up to 200°C.
- Customisable constructions: The combination of FEP with other materials (SI-TECHPRENE, PVC, EPR rubber) and the availability of bare, tinned or silver-plated copper conductors in AWG or metric sizes, offers great design flexibility.
- International certifications: IMQ, VDE, UL and CSA for the main constructions, including screened versions for sensors requiring immunity to electromagnetic interference
Production of FEP cables
FEP processing requires dedicated extrusion equipment and specific expertise in the management of fluoropolymers. Salcavi Technic has these production capabilities, supported by the SI Lab laboratory for the thermal and structural characterisation of the materials. Customised constructions are developed according to customer specifications.
Applications of FEP cables: reference sectors
Manufacturers of industrial instrumentation, designers of high-temperature lighting systems and companies operating in special applications find in Salcavi FEP cables a certified solution for operating conditions where conventional materials cannot be used. The product range covers sensor applications, professional lighting systems and special applications where chemical resistance and thermal stability are essential requirements.
