CERAFIL® CN8

CGP INNOVATIONS

CERAFIL®, a ceramic-insulated wire for very high temperatures, is the result of several years of research in our laboratory. Our team of engineers has developed a groundbreaking technology for depositing ceramics on a wire with an extremely small diameter (from 0.07 mm).

These outstanding advantages – miniature size, significantly reduced weight, and resistance to extreme temperatures – mean that CERAFIL® is currently used in many highly technical applications and research projects in areas such as the aerospace, military, and nuclear industries.

Features

• Thermal

- Continuous operating temperature: -90°C to +500°C;
- +800°C for a minimum of 240 hours;
- Maximum temperature +1000°C

At a temperature of > 315°C after prolonged use CERAFIL® may experience nickel migration, which may cause its max. resistivity will increase.

• Chemical

Resistance to chemical environment: ★★★★★
(neutral to common and organic solvents)

Resistance to moisture: ★✩✩✩✩
(Moisture-sensitive product - hydrophilic)

• Electrical

- Test voltage (1 min): 150 AC / 212 V DC
• Radiation resistance ★★★★★
- Withstands long-term exposure to neutrons and gamma rays without changing the mechanical resistance of the insulation
• Fire resistance

Completely non-flammable at temperatures Above 1000°C, CERAFIL® may melt but not ignite.

Color Code: Gray

Applications

This miniature, ultra-high-temperature wire is designed to create extremely reliable windings that can withstand any thermal overload (mechanical overheating, short circuit, thermally hazardous locations, etc.).

We can also custom-produce ceramic-insulated thermocouple wires like CERAFIL® for measuring temperature in enclosed environments exposed to extreme heat (range: COUPLIX®).
PRECAUTIONS DURING USE

Ceramics are very different from traditional insulation. They are a rigid, hydrophilic material that requires special care when handling. CERAFIL® should be stored in a dry place and handled with care, avoiding mechanical damage (folding, stretching, etc.). It should be removed with fine-grained sandpaper.
