OTHER ADVANTAGES There is typically a great deal of overlap between applications that have challenging thermal environments and those that require cables with good flame properties. With that overlap in mind, all ÖLFLEX ® HEAT cables with jackets made of silicone and cross-linked polyolefin are: • Halogen-free. With the increased demand for safety in public areas, contractors are now being advised to install materials that are non-hazardous to members of the public in case of fire. Significantly, the mentioned ÖLFLEX ® HEAT cables are halogen-free, avoiding the toxic and corrosive fumes halogenated products emit when burned. They are therefore a safe choice—both in terms of human health and the environment. • Flame retardant. The nature of the industrial environment, along with factors that include the duration of oil exposure, quantity of the liquid, surrounding ambient temperature of the oil and the cable itself, play a role in a product’s ability to withstand this type of chemical exposure, however, the greater the ability of the cable jacket to resist the possible devastating effects of oil, the longer it will perform uninterrupted. All ÖLFLEX ® HEAT cables are rated to meet the varying degrees of oil resistance required for high- temperature applications. • Low smoke density. When burned, ÖLFLEX ® HEAT cables emit a less optically dense smoke at a lower rate—a desirable characteristic in the event of a fire, as it makes exiting the space a safer, easier experience.
