Silicone: the best thermal insulation material
In recent years, silicone has been used extensively in the automotive sector, but it has now become popular in a wide range of applications. Due to its unique set of attributes, silicone is a very popular material for cable production and has also played a pivotal role in the continuous development of Rosendahl's lines.
Rosendahl developed the first silicone extrusion line with infrared curing 4 years ago. In the meantime, several new lines have been installed worldwide and also existing lines have been updated by Rosendahl. The special matching extruders, crossheads and curing tunnels allow for effective and reproducible results from a single provider.
On the automotive cable market, silicone has established itself as an ideal insulation and jacketing material for cables and high-voltage cables for electro and hybrid cars. The continuous operating temperature of 200°C and the high flexibility of this material doesn't change, even at various temperatures. Due to its high temperature resistance, silicone enables us to reduce conductor cross-sections and minimize cable weight.
