Okozel is Okonite's trade name for ETFE Fluoropolymer, a modified Ethylene
Tetrafluoroethylene. Okozel is extremely rugged with excellent resistance to cut-through and abrasion. It is chemically inert and has low permeability.Okozel is flame retardant and non-propagating, passes the IEEE 383
and UL vertical tray flame test, and is rated "non-burning" under ASTM
D635. It is rated for 150°C (302°F) conductor operating temperature for continuous use and retains all useful physical properties at temperatures
down to -100°F (-148°C). Okozel is a radiation resistant dielectric and meets or exceeds all requirements of IEEE Standards 383 and 323. Specifications
Conductors: Bare copper per ASTM B-3, stranded per ASTM B-8. Insulation:
Flame-retardant, radiation-resistant Okozel, a modified ETFE fluoropolymer per NEMA Std. HP-100.2.
Insulated conductor meets or exceeds the requirements of IEEE Std. 383, Type Test of Class M Electric Cables for Nuclear Power Generating
Stations and is rated " non-burning" under ASTM D635.
Listed as Type Z or ZW. Conductor Identification: Base colors with traces in accordance with
ICEA S-73-532, Method 1. See table bellow. Assembly: Conductors cabled together in accordance with ICEA S-73-532;
with non-hygroscopic fillers as required; and a binder tape overall. Sheath: Close fitting, impervious, continuous, corrugated aluminum
C-L-X sheath also serves as a grounding conductor when used with appropriate
end fittings. Okozel C-L-X cable meets or exceeds the requirements of IEEE Std. 383, Type Test of Class IE Electric Cables for Nuclear
Power Generating Stations and is rated "non-burning" under ASTM D635. Applications
Okozel C-L-X control cables are recommended for use in either nuclear powered
(90°C rated) or fossil-fueled (150°C rated) generating stations where continuity of service in critical circuits is of primary importance.
These conductors, which are rated 150°C in dry and 75°C in wet locations
(90°C as Class 1E), permit smaller conduit use through higher ampacities
and thinner insulation walls than comparable XLP or rubber constructions.
C-L-X Okozel control cables are also recommended for high ambient temperature areas up to
150°C (302°F) in industrial applications or for cold weather installations to
-65°C (-85°F).
