Pressure cooking for large rubber cables!
BICC Rubber Cables are good for years of service, due to the careful formulation of the compounds used and the scientific control exercised during vulcanisation. This is how large cables are processed.
Following insulation or sheathing by extrusion the cables are wound on to a cylinder. The cylinder is then moved into the vulcaniser, where it is sub- jected to steam under pressure. The temperature is slowly brought up to 145°C, under which conditions the sulphur and rubber combine to produce a vulcan- ised, tough, resilient covering. During vulcanisation of these large cables the cylinder is rotated inside the vessel so that in the initial stages of heating, deformation due to flow under the weight of successive layers of cable is avoided.
Basically steam pressure cooking with strict time and temperature con- trol... one of the techniques which ensure that BICC Cables will never let you down.
