HEW carries out its own silicone compounding allowing them to offer a wide range of cables designed to meet specific customer requirements in terms of resistance to high temperatures, notches, tearing, flame, high voltage and hot steam sterilisation.
Silicone rubber cables are highly resistant to extremes of temperature; retaining their physical properties over a temperature range of -50ºC to +180ºC and for short periods up to 250ºC. The HEW range offers single core or stranded conductors manufactured from either bare copper or tin, nickel or silver plated copper. Screened and unscreened single, multicore and twin-flat versions are available as are armoured, glass fibre versions and halogen free and flame retardant types.
These cables will find application in domestic appliances, lighting, shipbuilding, the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, medical equipment, heating equipment, nuclear power plants and as high voltage and fire security cables.
