sil500 (electro-technical)
This range encompasses those grades that are suitable for applications requiring enhanced electrical performance. This includes wire and cable products, and insulators.
With outstanding physical and mechanical properties, the wire and cable range also displays exceptional resistance to ageing factors such as oxygen, ozone, humidity and moulds. They can be supplied with a high ash cohesion level if required and low burning toxicity.
