High Temperature Wire

In the industrial heating industry, most standard wire can withstand continuous temperatures up to 450 deg F. These wires may have a PVC, Teflon or Silicone insulation and may be some glass braided for mechanical protection.

High temperature wire can withstand continuous temperatures up to 1200 deg F at maximum 400 Volts. To withstand these temperatures, high temp wires have different coatings than standard wires.

Common features of high temperature wire are insulation with MICA tapes and a fiberglass braid jacket which is treated with high temperature saturant. For extra mechanical protection, the cable can be ordered with a stainless steel 304 jacket.

Up to 450 deg F, wires are commonly UL / CSA approved.
