Thermotar Asphalt Snow Melting Cables And Mats

ThermoTAR Snow Melting Cables (SMC-FE) and Snow Melting Mats (SMM-FE) are special cables with enhanced temperature withstand ability and mechanical strength. These can be used for asphalt drive-ways, pavements, roads, parking-bays, when hot asphalt is directly poured on the cable while laying.   Asphalt from the asphalt machine in general has a temperature of 170-240 �C. SMC-FE cables and SMM-FE mats are suitable for withstanding this temperature for up to 10 minutes. The cable is developed according to IEC 800 Class C, which means that the cable has deformation strength of 2000N.

Construction The ThermoTAR range consists of a resistance element provided with primary fluoropolymer insulation, metal shielding and secondary insulation of high temperature material. Heating cables could be single conductor with around 6.0mm outer diameter terminating on cold leads at two ends of the cable or it could be twin conductor with around 7.0mm outer diameter and terminating on cold leads at one end of the cable. Asphalt SMC comes with a 5.0 m length cold leads as a standard.
