Thermo Mineral Insulated Cables(TMIC)

Thermo Mineral Insulated cables (TMIC) are often used for temperature maintenance of piping, tanks and also for freeze protection applications. The Thermo Mineral insulated cable can also be used as power cable for High temperature applications. The products are series circuit constant watt heaters These cables are robust, fire-resistant, and capable of withstanding extreme environmental conditions, which are essential for heating applications in industrial, commercial, and residential settings.

Construction:

The Thermo Mineral insulated cables are made up of a metal conductor or conductors embedded in an inorganic insulant of compacted ceramic, typically, magnesium oxide powder inside a metal sheath. The inorganic nature of the construction enables the cables to operate for long periods at high temperatures or in extremely harsh environments e.g. petrochemical, reactor vessels, automotive and other applications where the integrity of the cable is most important.

Technical Data Sheet

Features:

Compliance Standards: EN 60079-0, EN 60079-30-1
