When radiation resistance is not enough
Radiation resistance combined with high or low temperatures, extreme mechanical stress, and miniaturisation, in standard or inert atmosphere, these are challenges for which Axorad® radiation resistant wires and cables are designed.
Axorad® radiation resistant cables can be used as power cables, instrumentation cables, control cables and sensor cables in nuclear plants, in particle detectors, accelerators or scientific devices. They are also used in satellites and defense systems including submarines.
Radiation resistant insulating materials
Axon’ has gathered considerable experience in cable insulation with different materials adapted to the severe environments of scientific and nuclear applications, such as ETFE, special Thermoplastic compounds, Polyimides, Polyaryletherketones, crosslinked Polyolefins and Thermoplastic Polyurethanes.
