CHEMAflex®: Oil and chemical resistant flexible connecting cable
Studer Cables extended its halogen free flame retardant BETAflam® flex assortment with the chemical resistant CHEMAflex®.
The characteristic of the BETAflam® CHEMAflex® line is the bilayer extruded outer sheath, which exhibits a substantially improved medium stability. The new product assortment (also with EMC shielding available) increases the quality of the BETAflam® characteristics with the chemical resistance such as halogen free, flame retardant and increased resistance to temperature.
With this novel solution we have generated significant interest in industry, particularly for conveying systems and production lines as well for the food industry.
