Chromalox SRP Self-Regulating Trace Heating Cable
- Twin 16 AWG Copper Buss Wires are able to provide reliable electrical current capability.
- Semiconductive Polymer Core Matrix is the self regulating component of the cable and it’s electrical resistance varies with temperature.
- Fluoropolymer Jacket is flame retardant and electrically insulates the matrix and buss wires and provides corrosion resistance.
- Tinned Copper Braid that provides additional mechanical protection in any environment, and a positive ground path.
- High Temperature Fluoropolymer Overjacket (optional) is a corrosion resistant, flame retardant overjacket which is highly effective in many environments. It protects against exposure to organic or corrosive solutions as well as abrasion and impact damage.
