Thermal-Flex MultiTrace FEP heat trace cable is a medium temperature constant wattage heating cable. The entire cable construction employs Dupont FEP Teflon® which is unaffected by chemicals and solvents that may cause rapid deterioration of other plastics and all but the most expensive metal alloys. High resistance to moisture, flame, and radiation is also realized. Optional nickel plated buss wire is available for maximum thermal and corrosion protection.
The constant wattage heating cable design provides uniform heat as the wattage remains the same, regardless of circuit length. The cable heating zones are hand soldered and inspected to maintain 100% contact with the buss wires. The parallel resistance cable can be cut and terminated on site eliminating the need for inventories of different size heaters.
