Silicone Rubber Cable is UV and ozone resistant and has a low specific weight, making it useful in the aircraft and shipbuilding sectors. Silicone Rubber Cable is resistant to a wide range of chemicals and oils, even at high temperatures, outperforming other elastomers. SIlicon-coated Silicone Rubber Cable is commonly used in battery cables, led lights, and other applications where wires are constantly in motion. PVC coated wires are heavier and less flexible than silicone rubber cable. Temperatures ranging from -60°C to 250°C do not affect the qualities of our Silicone Rubber Cable.

Performance of silicon wire
As previously stated, silicone wire is insulated with silicone, a form of rubber. This rubber component makes the wire more flexible in harsh situations. When exposed to high temperatures or other adverse environmental conditions, the silicone wire’s suppleness helps it to keep its shape/structure.
Silicon insulation, as previously noted, has a higher melting point than many other materials. This enables the wire to reach substantially higher temperatures without melting the insulator or catching fire. This enhanced temperature management capability is safe and trustworthy, particularly in the prevention of dangerous explosions.
However, in order to get the optimum performance in terms of high-temperature resistance and flexibility, the appropriate wire must be used. Thinner silicone wires are frequently more resistant to heat and more flexible than bulkier ones. Thinner wires are lighter and so have greater flexibility.
Only one way a silicone wire may provide a bad outcome is if you use the incorrect wire, which can be too thin. It is very good conductor when the wire is too thin, the PVC insulator soon melts, allowing the bare copper wires to short and the battery to explode. As a result, utilise a thin wire that is neither too thin nor too thick. Because of the nature and advantages of silicone wire, it is frequently thought to be perfect for usage in harsh and severe temperature conditions. However, silicone wires are commonly utilised in medical and aeronautical applications, automobile wiring, and heating systems. Although they may be used for various purposes, they are more expensive than many others.
