Color identification is important for multiconductor cables. Can you provide color identification at elevated temperatures?
Radix Wire employs a variety of materials to achieve color identification of component conductors. These materials are chosen for their ability to remain colorfast at elevated temperatures up to the maximum rating of the cable.
For continuous 150 C, 200 C or 250 C service, colorants compatible with the finished material may be used to dye a fiber braid. For extruded Teflon insulation, pigments can be added to the base material to produce solid colors. Stripes may be printed upon either of these surfaces using high temperature ink.
For cable components rated higher than 250 C, high temperature tracer threads are woven into the fiber braid cover. These tracer threads are pre-coated with colored material that is extremely resistant to "brown out" when exposed to temperatures approaching 600 C.
