June 11, 2014 - Cicoil releases Clean Room Cables and Assemblies for Semiconductor Industry Applications. Rated for Class 1 Clean Room use, the Flexx-Sil rubber jacketed cables meet the Air Cleanliness Requirements of ISO 146441, exceed the outgassing requirements of ASTM E595 and are excellent for vacuum environments as well. Cicoil's computer-controlled extrusion process allows each individual power conductor, signal pair pairs, tubing or multi-wire bundles to be placed in a flat parallel profile, precisely controlling the spacing of each individual component, insulation thickness and the overall cable shape.
Unlike round cables made with bulky fillers, talc and low-friction tapes, the Cicoil Flat Cable Solution ensures that each of the inner components do not rub against each other, wear or deform during operation and don’t move within the Flexx-Sil material that forms the outer jacket. Cicoil’s Flexx-Sil extruded cables are impervious to continuous motion, tight routing, vibration, UV light, steam, pressure washing, de-ionized water, alcohol, autoclave, mechanical stress, expanded temperatures (-65°C to +165°C) and many chemicals. When cables need to be stacked together, or where a lower friction surface is desired, Cicoil offers its GlideRite and SlideRite coating options by request.
Cicoil's Halogen-Free Clean Room Cables are UL & CSA Recognized, CE Conforming, RoHS & REACH Compliant and are cured continuously, with no debris or material contamination in an automated, climate controlled environment.
