DESCRIPTION & FEATURES :
Halar cable is made of a flouropolymer insulator that exhibits superior chemical resistance. Halar cable is made with a primary layer of Halar material, which is resistant to chlorine, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid. Following the layer of Halar, is a high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE) insulation which provides pliable strength and allows considerable abuse during installation. The HMWPE jacketing provides mechanical protection as well. Halar cable is available in sizes 8 AWG through 1/0 AWG.
Halar wire is available is sizes 8 AWG through 1/0 AWG. Made with a dual insulation, Halar wire can be used in any situation where chlorine and hydrogen gases are present. The first layer of insulation is the Halar flouropolymer which is extremely resistant to chlorine, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid. The second layer of insulation on the Halar wire is a HMWPE (high molecular weight polyethylene) insulation which exhibits pliable strength and mechanical protection, and allows considerable abuse during installation.
APPLICATION :
HALAR / HMWPE cables are used as deep anode lead wires where chlorine and hydrogen gases are generated. The cable can be directly installed in fresh, brackish, or salt waters.
STANDARDS :
CONDUCTOR:
Stranded bare or tinned copper conductor conforms to ASTM Spec B-3 and B-8.
PRIMARY INSULATION:
A homogeneous 20 mil wall of natural ECTFE fluoropolymer (HALAR) shall be extruded around the conductor.
JACKET:
A 65 mil wall of high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE) shall be extruded around the primary insulation. The jacket conforms to ASTM Spec D 1248.
For identification purpose the cable shall be surface printed with. "Manufacturer name Conductor size AWG, HALAR / HMWPE CATHODIC PROTECTION CABLE"
