Industries such as the automotive<\/a>, aviation<\/a>, and chemical sectors require wires and cables to meet the highest standards in terms of performance and durability. When temperatures above 150 \u00b0C and more aggressive chemicals are involved, high-temperature cables<\/strong> made of silicone<\/strong> or fluoroplastics<\/strong> such as PTFE<\/strong> and FEP<\/strong> are the preferred materials. GREMCO’s product portfolio includes customized solutions for precisely such conditions – and thus supports companies that rely on high-quality and safe cable solutions. However, which material is recommended when?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Silicone is flexible, heat-resistant, and ideal for applications ranging from -60 \u00b0C to +180 \u00b0C. Its elasticity, maintained even at low temperatures, is particularly advantageous. The material properties make silicone ideal for applications where environmental influences such as UV radiation, moisture, or ozone occur. Thus, silicone cables<\/a> are a preferred choice in the chemical industry, medical technology, and industrial applications under difficult conditions.<\/p>\n Chemical restrictions:<\/strong> Chemical resistance is a decisive factor. When in contact with aggressive chemicals or solvents, silicone can lose its elasticity and age more quickly. Therefore, it is not the optimal choice in such environments – fluoroplastics such as PTFE and FEP are superior here.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nAdvantages and limitations of high-temperature cables made of silicone<\/h2>\n
