HALAR Cable

INTRODUCTION

HMWPE cable composed of stranded copper wires covered by two layers of insulation.  The outer insulation layer, or protective jacket, is made from high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE), which exhibits superior dielectric and tensile strength, and provide mechanical protection to the wire.  The inner or primary insulation is composed of HALAR, a fluoro-copolymer.  This insulating material demonstrates exceptional chemical resistance. In the presence of chlorine, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or other strong oxidizing agents the material remains stable.  Further, it will not deteriorate when exposed to petroleum hydrocarbons which are encountered in numerous cathodic protection applications.

APPLICATION

HALAR cable is designed for making anode lead connection in a wide range of environments.  Due to its dual insulation construction, it can be installed directly in native soils or submerged in fresh, brackish, or salt waters.  The cable is ideal for deep anode bed installations where chlorine and hydrogen gases are generated.  The HALAR cable will not embrittle at temperatures as low as 80¢XF, and will maintain dimensional stability and dielectric strength at temperature up to 250¢XF.  It is also highly resistant to notch propagation.
