PVC Black Sheath 90°C FR Part 3 Cat (C) is a specialized cable sheath designed for demanding environments. Here’s a detailed product description highlighting its features and applications:

Product Overview

Material: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

Temperature Rating: Capable of withstanding temperatures up to 90°C.

Flame Retardant: Classified as FR (Flame Retardant), this sheath self-extinguishes when the flame source is removed, although it emits chloride gas upon decomposition.

Moisture and Water Resistance: Provides good resistance to moisture and water, suitable for various applications, though prolonged immersion may require alternative materials like polyethylene.

Chemical Resistance: Offers decent resistance to chemicals, but may be affected by solvents and oils that can leach out plasticizers, potentially leading to cracking.

UV Resistance: Enhanced UV resistance is achieved through the incorporation of carbon black, making it suitable for outdoor applications where exposure to sunlight is a concern.

Low Smoke, Low Halogen (LSLH): Designed to minimize smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, enhancing safety in enclosed spaces.

Key Features

Durability: Excellent mechanical properties ensure longevity and resilience against environmental factors.

Versatility: Suitable for various cable types including power cables, control cables, and communication cables.

Specifications Compliance: Meets several international standards such as IEC 60092 and BS EN 50525 series, ensuring reliability and safety in installations.
