Protective jacket for applications in the
extended temperature range of –100 °C to +260 °C
Compared with bers only coated with polyimide and without
a protective jacket, our ultra high-temperature jacket (UHTJ) oers much
improved abrasion resistance plus excellent mechanical properties for
laying, and is very easy to strip during assembly. UHTJ covers
a much larger temperature range than bers with conventional ETFE
or PFA jacket coatings, while also oering outstanding resistance to
chemical degradation. Depending on the ber dimension, the UHTJ
is available in lengths of up to several kilometers.
Compared with alternative materials, an ultra high-temperature jacket
(UHTJ) oers a much broader temperature range of −100 °C to +260 °C.
While commercially available PFA jackets based on elastic polymers are
usable across a similar temperature range, they are unable to meet key
contemporary user requirements such as cost-eective cable stripping.
Wider temperature ranges than the range oered by PI-coated bers are
possible only by using expensive metal coatings.
Please talk to us about options for customized cables combined with the
new ultra high-temperature jacket – we will be happy to work with you on
a solution tailored to your application needs.
