-
VOH - a flexible PA6 polyamide very heavy
duty, offering a high degree of mechanical protection
-
PCL - a very flexible PA6 polyamide medium
duty, specially modified for cold impact, offering excellent
all-round characteristics
-
LLPF - a flexible PA6 polyamide medium duty

 COFLEX
(co-flex) Conduits are two-part corrugated conduits
for retrofit and pre-loomed applications. New cables can be added to
existing arrangements without the need for rewiring or re-threading,
saving time and money. Flexible conduits are available in
polyamide and polypropylene versions. COFIX
Connectors are straight split fittings and locknuts for retrofit
assembly made from specially modified PA6. IP54 ingress protection
is available when combined with CO-FLEX flexible conduits.
Application Performance
Applications: Include building
installations, machinery, automation, railways (rolling stock and
track installations), mechanical engineering, shipbuilding and
hazardous areas which can be subject to the following demands:
Weather: PMA modified polyamide materials generally show good
weather and UV resistance. Products for outdoor use under special
conditions (dynamic movements, extreme temperatures) can be
recommended on an application basis. Fire:
All polyamide products are free from halogens, non toxic and non
fire propagating. Liquids: Product lines with
system ingress protection up to IP69K.
Chemicals: Polyamides are well resistant against fuels, mineral
oils, fats and alkalies. Resistance against other specific chemicals
can be provided on request. Heat: Operating
temperature ranges: PA6: -40ºC to +105ºC (short term 150ºC) / PA12:
-50ºC to +95ºC (short term 140ºC). Durability:
The choice of the product type is crucial for its life expectancy.
Lifetime can be further extended following basic installation
recommendations (on www.pma-uk.com Support, Application Engineering
Information). Authority: PMA is certified
according to EN ISO 9001:2000 and complies with a variety of
international standards. Detailed information and external test
reports on request. Green Issues: PMA
products comply with EU Directives 2002/95/EC (RoHS), 2002/96/EC (WEEE)
