Can plastic coated wire rope withstand high temperature? 2024-06-20 Plastic coated wire rope is a wire rope coated with a layer of plastic or polymer coating on the surface of the wire rope. The coating provides additional protection, making it suitable for a variety of environments, including high temperatures. High temperature resistant coating material Not all plastic coated wire ropes have high temperature resistance. High temperature resistant coating materials include: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) : Resistance to high temperatures up to 260°C, with excellent chemical and wear resistance. Polyimide: Resistant to high temperatures up to 400°C, with excellent electrical insulation and chemical resistance. Polyimide-amide-imide (PAI) : Resistant to temperatures up to 550°C, with excellent wear and chemical resistance. High temperature resistant wire rope core material In addition to the coating material, the type of wire rope core material also affects the high temperature resistance. High temperature steel wire rope core material includes: Stainless steel: High temperature resistance up to 1000°C, with excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance.
