Cable carriers
for use where
there is a risk
of explosion
The plastic used by KABELSCHLEPP is perfectly suited for outdoor
applications.
The mechanical properties of the cable carriers are not affected.
K 7426 S is UV-resistant!
Plastic cable carriers can also be used in a vacuum. In the case of
intermittent loads the occurring tensile forces need to be ascertained.
Please be sure to consult us in any such case!
At a radiation dose of up to 1 megarad no material impairment
occurs.
Increasing the dose up to 100 megarad causes the material to
become steadily more brittle. At 100 megarad the limits of the maximum
mechanical properties will be reduced by 30%.
Installation is not advisable at a radiation dose of more than
100 megarad. In these cases please consult us.
Tests as per UL 94-ASTM 0635-81 : HB
Tests as per DIN 4102 “Flammability of construction materials and
components”.
Classification:
Construction material class B2, minimum thickness < 1 mm, not
dropping if burning.
A special material is used for plastic cable carriers for cold storage
systems applications.
These cable carriers can only be supplied in the colour yellowish /
white (transparent).
Cable carriers to be installed in potentially explosive areas are
produced in special material and can only be supplied in black.
Because there is no distinguishing feature on the outside compared
with the standard cable carriers, these cable carriers are identified by
being marked with the stamp “EX”.
■ Combustion point of the special material: greater than 350 °C
■ Ignition temperature of the special material: 415°C
■ Surface resistance:
