PMAFLEX Multilayer - XVCSF - Corrugated Conduit

Product catalog summary

Overview: The PMAFLEX Multilayer - XVCSF is a flexible, heavy-duty multilayer conduit designed for static external applications on railway vehicles, particularly on bogies and undercarriage. It offers excellent resistance to impact at low temperatures.

Features & Benefits:

Good flexibility and high compression and impact strengths at low temperatures and humidity.
Self-extinguishing properties.

Materials: The conduit consists of an outer layer made of specially formulated polyamide 6 and an inner layer of specially modified polyamide 6.

Compatibility: Compatible with PMAFIX Pro, PMAFIX, PMA Smart Line fittings, and PMA accessories.

Temperature Range: Operates continuously between –50°C and +105°C, with short-term resistance up to +160°C.

Conformance: Complies with EN 45545-2 HL2 (R22 & R23) standards.

Weathering Resistance: Offers very good UV resistance and weathering characteristics.

Environmental Properties: Free from halogens and cadmium, RoHS and REACH compliant.

Mechanical Properties:

Impact strength varies with temperature, with specific values provided for different conditions.
Compression strength and resistance to fatigue are specified, with testing conducted at 23°C and 50% relative humidity.

Thermal Properties: The application temperature range is –45°C to +105°C, with continuous application up to +105°C and short-term up to +160°C.

Fire Safety Properties:

Non flame-propagating with a fire hazard level of HL2 according to EN 45545-2 (R22 & R23).
Oxygen index greater than 28%, smoke density less than 300 Ds max, and toxicity less than specified limits.

Product Selection: Various part numbers are available, each with specific dimensions, weight, and packing units. The minimum bending radius for static installation is provided.
