MCA-I-GF
Self-regulating heating cables for anti-freeze
or temperature maintenance use with exposure to
corrosives and acids.
Suitable for maintaining process temperatures up to 120°C on piping and tanks, even in
the presence of acids and corrosives, or for anti-freeze use where acids and corrosives are
70
present, in safe areas. Not suitable for use in the presence of steam washing.
