SABIX^® Jacket Material Overview

SABIX^® - Thermoplastic Material on a Polyolefin Base

This material has several outstanding characteristics. As registered trademark of SAB Bröckskes GmbH & Co. KG, SABIX^® combines progressive cable technology with highest security for the user. When used properly, there is no health risk associated with SABIX^®. SABIX^® products are completely recyclable and can be reused after decomposition.

Standard halogen-free cables offer a large degree of safety to humans, nature, buildings and machinery, but do have a large disadvantage - they are often too inflexible to compete with PVC in all applications. This is not the case with SABIX^®. SABIX^® possesses several technical advantages compared with PVC.
