Electrically insulating hoses made of elastomers and plastics for laboratory and industrial use
RCT presents electrically insulating hoses as both elastomer and plastic variants. They are offered as elastomer tubing in materials such as silicone, PVC, and polyolefins. As tubing made of rigid plastic, they are available in materials like PTFE, PVDF, and FEP. RCT also offers electrical insulating conduits as glass fabric tubing with silicone coating or acrylic lacquer coating.
The range of electrically insulating hoses is presented as follows
PVC electrical insulating tubes are used in telecommunications/telecommunications industry, in the electrical industry, in the automotive industry, and in equipment manufacturing as installation hoses. They have excellent electrical properties, reflected in their electrical breakdown strength, insulation class, and direct current resistance; the electrical insulating hoses made of PVC are equipped with a Shore hardness A of 92° according to DIN 53505. Their electrical resistance is 10^12 Ohm.
Silicone thermal hoses are electrical insulating hoses used to protect electrical components as well as to protect against electrical voltage breakdowns; notable are their specific resistance of 1 x 10^12 Ohm, their dielectric constant of 4.8 bar at 1 kHz, and their thermal conductivity of 1.1 W/mK; the operating temperature of the silicone thermal hoses ranges from -60 °C to +200 °C.
Silicone high-temperature chemical hoses are considered electrical insulating products that are characterized by high thermal conductivity; their electrical resistance is 20 kV/mm according to VDE 0303 and their specific resistance can be stated as 4.2 x 10^5 Ohm; the operating temperature of the silicone high-temperature chemical hose ranges from -60 °C to +300 °C; the Shore hardness is A 60° according to DIN 53505.
Glass fabric hoses
Glass fabric conduits with silicone rubber coating are electrically insulating hoses used for the installation of busbars and busbar connections; they are also used for cable assembly as well as for insulating soldered splice points on cables; they are also suitable for insulating or wrapping tapes as well as for noise damping, such as on self-supporting body parts; the glass fabric hoses with silicone rubber coating easily adapt to molded parts, similar to heat shrink tubing; the hose is oil-resistant, even after 96 hours at +100 °C, the temperature resistance is between -70 °C and +235 °C, with short-term applications up to +300 °C possible; the elongation ratio is 1:2, thus highly flexible, coupled with extremely high mechanical strength; the electrical insulating hose meets the fire class UL 1441 and the VW standard: VW-1. Glass fabric tubing with acrylic resin coating are electrical insulating hoses for the insulation of wires, cables, and connections in the motor and transformer sector; remarkable is its voltage resistance of an average of 9 kV, the electrical insulating hose is offered in natural, black, red, blue, yellow, green, orange, and violet colors. The operating temperature range is from -25 °C to +155 °C, the hose meets the heat class: F and UL 1441.
Semi-rigid and semi-flexible variants
PVDF heat shrink tubing - semi-flexible - are electrically insulating hoses used for strain relief as well as for kink protection; the shrink rate is 2:1 and the operating temperature is set from -55 °C to +175 °C. The electrical breakdown strength is 15.7 kV/mm and the specific resistance can be stated as 10^13 Ohm x cm/min. PVDF heat shrink tubing - semi-rigid - are electrical insulating sleeves for the insulation of heating element connections; they also serve to protect solder and crimp connections and are simultaneously characterized by the highest chemical resistance; the high electrical breakdown strength is remarkable and is defined with the value of 31.5 kV/mm/min. The tubing is UL/CSA and VG approved; the material PVDF is also declared under the names Solef/Kynar; the temperature range is -55 °C to +175 °C with a shrink rate of 2:1, where the shrink temperature is +175 °C; the specific resistance is 10^13 Ohm x cm/min.
Various shrink ratios
FEP heat shrink tubing are electrical insulating hoses with a shrink rate of 1.3:1 and an operating temperature from -40 °C to +205 °C; the shrink temperature ranges from +204 °C to +216 °C; the electrical breakdown strength is <2000 V/mm, while the specific resistance is stated as <10^18 Ohm x cm. PTFE heat shrink tubing, shrink ratio 4:1 by the meter are electrical insulating hoses for enclosing moving and mechanical components as well as for the insulation of heating line connections; PTFE heat shrink tubing is characterized by the highest chemical resistance to inorganic and organic media as well as very good electrical insulation strength; the tubing is abrasion-resistant and thin-walled and highly temperature-resistant; the temperature range is between -65 °C and +62 °C, with the shrink temperature guaranteed at +330 °C to +350 °C; the electrical breakdown strength is 25 kV/mm/min and the specific resistance is stated as 10^13 Ohm x cm/min. PTFE heat shrink tubing with a shrink ratio of 2:1 in short lengths are PTFE hoses that are used specifically to protect technical components against corrosion; they are characterized by a very good electrical resistance, which is stated as 25 kV/mm/min; the specific resistance is 10^18 Ohm x cm/min; the tubing is transparent and equipped with a temperature range of -65 °C to +260 °C, with a shrink temperature of +330 °C to +350 °C.
