Performance Wire and Cable is your source for cathodic protection cable. Our pipeline cathodic protection cable offers superior resistance to abrasions, crushing, chemicals, oils, sun damage, and moisture. The cables can be directly installed in just about any type of soil and fresh, brackish, or saltwater environments. The effectiveness of cathodic protection depends on factors such as the quality of the electrical connection, the distribution of current over the structure’s surface, and regular monitoring to ensure adequate protection is maintained. Monitoring techniques include measuring the structure’s electrical potential, current flow, and corrosion rate. We ensure our cpc cable is effective!
What is Cathodic Protection?
Cathodic protection is an electro-chemical process that is used to prevent or drastically reduce the corrosion of metal. Performance Wire and Cable uses this process to manufacture our cathodic protection cable. The main use of this cable is for corrosion prevention of metal in various industries and applications across the globe. Often used for the following applications, cathodic protection is instrumental to protect and prevent corrosion.
- Pipelines
- Storage tanks
- Well casings
- Pilings
- Cables
- Marine crafts
What Is HALAR Cable Made Of?
Performance Wire and Cable’s HALAR dual insulation is made up of fluoropolymer insulation, allowing the cable to exhibit superior chemical resistance and additional resistance to corrosive chlorine and hydrogen gases. Our HALAR cable’s primary layer is most resistant to sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and chlorine. The secondary layer is made up of a high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE) insulation, allowing for pliable strength, and is capable of withstanding excessive manipulation during installation.
What Is HALAR/HMWPE Cable Used For?
HALAR/HMWPE cathodic protection cable from Performance Wire and Cable is ideal for direct earth burial or water-submerged applications, including storage tanks, pipelines, well casings, and more. In a pipeline cathodic protection system, there is protection against galvanization and electrolytic corrosion of the object it’s meant to protect.
What Chemicals is KYNAR/HMWPE Cable Resistant To?
KYNAR/HMWPE cable offers exceptional resistance to chemicals. It provides superior resistance to chlorine, sulfuric acid, as well as hydrochloric acid, which the HMWPE insulation cannot withstand on its own. KYNAR protection cable is constructed much like HALAR cable, including HMWPE outer jacketing, which provides flexibility and strength to withstand natural abuse without damaging the conductor.
Performance Wire and Cable is a trusted supplier of cathodic protection cables for the most demanding direct burial applications. We can also customize CP cable orders to meet your specifications with our array of different sizes, colors, lengths, and labeling. We know that cathodic protection is very important because it is widely used in industries such as oil and gas, maritime, water treatment, and infrastructure to extend the service life of metal structures, reduce maintenance costs, and prevent catastrophic failures due to corrosion, that is why we are proud to manufacture top cathodic protection cable that is Made in America.
