High Temperature Cables

M.E.M. specialises in the field of High Temperature application cables giving the widest range of numerous type of insulation and sheath materials depending upon the temperature and other critical environment conditions. These high temperature cables are ideally suited for blast furnaces, coke ovens, steel melting shops, foundries, cement, ceramic & glass factories, hot rolling mills, sponge iron plants, coking plants, boilers, cell room of aluminium extrusion plants, etc. These cables are suitable for use in ship building & aircraft construction, oil refineries, thermal power, nuclear power & petrochemical plants. The range include from conventional ceramic fiber glass yarn & polished asbestos yarn insulated cables to the latest Kapton Lined, Sintered Teflon® (PTFE) & Mineral Insulated (MI) Cables.

Special Sintered Teflon®(PTFE) Cables

We are pleased to introduce a very special insulating material of “SINTERED TEFLON”®(PTFE) which is provided for insulation as well as overall sheath. Sintered Teflon® Cables are available in wide range of standard and customised designs with multicore and multipair shielded or screened varieties for Compensating Cables, Instrumentation Cables, Signal Cables, Control Cables and Co-axial Cables.

Even at temperature beyond 300°C Teflon® does not melt / burn. This assures insulation integrity within this temperature range. There is no known chemical that will degrade Teflon® making it ideal for harsh environments. Teflon”also possesses excellent electrical properties. It is an ideal material for low loss transmission of high frequency signals.

Shielding of Al-mylar tape with copper drain wire or copper wire braided screen can also be provided with Teflon*insulated cables. We can also provide G.I. wire and S.S wire braided armouring for protection of cables from mechanical stresses. For high temperature cables, we also recommend “Asbestos” braided and “Fibre Glass” braided cables which can withstand a continuous temperature upto 250^oC but cannot be used in extreme moist conditions and water leakage areas, as by nature these materials are hygroscopic which absorbs water and moisture.

Hence, in such conditions we have specially developed a very special insulating and sheathing material of “SINTERED TEFLON® which is not only heat resistant upto 300^oC, but is also water resistant and extra flexible. It is also non­flammable. With added insulating meterials and Silica Micanite and Ceramic Glass, these cables are suitable to withstand ambient temperature of upto 400^oC and beyond.
