PAS 5308 Part 1/Type 2 Hypron® Mica tape/XLPE insulation OS Fire resistant

Applications

These instrumentation and communication cables are used to transmit analogue or digital signals in measurement and process control in moist areas and where aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons may be present. They are well adapted to underground use in industrial applications where chemical and mechanical protections are needed (refinery areas, chemical plant...). Hypron® offers an alternative to conventional lead sheathed cable and is an environmental friendly solution. They maintain circuit integrity when exposed to fire.
