Kynar® Cathodic Protection Cable

Kynar® Cathodic Protection Cable

Cathodic Protection

Our Kynar® HMWPE cathodic protection cable is a stranded conductor insulated with Kynar® (PVDF), then jacketed with HMWPE. This cable is used in locations where there is a risk of contact with corrosive gases or brackish water and protects against galvanic and electrolytic corrosion of metal materials.

KrisTech’s Kynar® HMWPE cathodic protection cable is a single conductor wire capable of withstanding corrosive gases and brackish water. This direct earth burial DC feeder cable helps prevent rust on exposed metal structures, including storage tanks, pipelines, wells, offshore oil platforms, subsea equipment, and ocean vessels.

It has excellent abrasion, crush, chemical, oil, sunlight, and moisture resistance. Kynar® insulations offer additional resistance to corrosive gases and brackish water and can be used for deep anode ground-bed installations.

This 600 V wire is direct burial rated and has a maximum safe operating temperature of 75°C in wet or dry locations.

Standard Products

  • Sizes #14 AWG through #3/0 AWG
  • HMWPE insulation is standard
  • Dual-extrusion PVDF (Kynar®) with HMWPE jacket

Custom Options

  • Tinned conductors

KrisTech’s Kynar® HMWPE 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 are available in solid or stranded and annealed or hardened uncoated copper configurations.
  • Insulation – Conductors are insulated with a concentrically applied PVDF (often referred to as Kynar®).
  • 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.

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