KrisTech’s standard Halar®/HMWPE cathodic protection wire features a stranded copper conductor insulated with ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE), commonly known as Halar®. The wire is then jacketed with black sunlight-resistant high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE).

This product is manufactured for use in 600V applications, direct burial rated, and can operate safely in wet or dry locations ranging from -55°C to 75°C.

Standard Products

  • Sizes #10 AWG through #4/0 AWG
  • Stranded options available in all sizes
  • Hard-drawn copper upon request
  • Jacket thickness 0.065” or 0.090”
  • Available in all American Public Works Association (APWA) colors

KrisTech’s Halar® cathodic protection cable meets the following standards and tests, including:

  • ASTM B-1, B-3, B-8, and B-33
  • ICEA S-95-658 / NEMA WC 70

  • Conductors – Single conductors come in solid or stranded and annealed or hardened uncoated copper configurations.
  • Insulation – Conductors are insulated with a concentrically applied ECTFE (often referred to as Halar®).
  • Jacket – Conductors are jacketed with a concentrically applied black HMWPE (high molecular weight polyethylene). LLDPE (linear low-density polyethylene) is standard, and HDPE (high density polyethylene) is available upon request. An optional XLPE (crosslinked polyethylene) jacketing is also available upon request..

Print legends on the wire include the manufacturer, conductor size, voltage rating, and type designation. Standard length spools are 500 or 2,500 feet.
