Highest Temperature Cut-to-Length Heat Trace Mineral Insulated Heating Cable is used on heat trace solutions for the extreme working conditions with the trace temperature higher up to 425ºC then there is only mineral insulated heating cable workable. The cable is with metal sheath so the real installed length should be pre-calculated and cut into length in workshop for proper installation at field.

Patented mineral insulated, metal sheathed, electric heating cable can withstand 425ºC continuously, and deliver up to 200W/m. It can cater for virtually all applications outside the capability of the self-regulating tracer range.
