Insulation
Okoguard is Okonite’s trade name for its ethylene propylene based insulation. Okoguard insulation is heat resistant, mechanically rugged, and exceptionally moisture resistant.
This insulation provides an excellent balance of properties for a low voltage power cable.
Applications
For use in branch circuits up to 600V. Rated 90°C wet or dry for use in conduits, underground ducts and aerial circuits in accordance with the National Electric Code. It is applicable for cable tray use on sizes 4/0 and larger and is sunlight resistant. This construction combines the high dielectric and flexibility characteristics of EPR and PVC to resist the hostile oil environments in refinery use and permits ease of low friction installation. The jacket is UL rated Oil Resistant II.
