defines cross-linked elastomeric insulation compounds (EI 6 and EI 7) that offer a unique balance of high-temperature capability, flexibility, and resistance to environmental stress. They are essential for demanding cable applications where thermoplastic insulations would fail due to heat, flexing, or chemical exposure. If you are selecting a cable insulation for mobile equipment, high-ambient-temperature environments, or applications requiring oil and ozone resistance, BS EN 50363-8 materials are a prime candidate.
