Roxtec seals cable and pipes safely
Industrial operators and installers in many industries face potential hazards - including dangerous chemicals and fire - so a Swedish company has invented a revolutionary approach to sealing openings made to handle cable and pipe.
Headquartered in Karlskrona, Roxtec is a world leader in the specialized field of sealing modular cable and pipe.
Its solutions are effective in protecting cable and pipe at entry points. When cables and metal or plastic pipes are routed through openings no fire, gas or water is generally allowed to penetrate - nor is dust or dirt, or insects and snakes. Some installations must also withstand corrosion, pressure differences, vibration and electromagnetic interference. Roxtec provides certified protection against all of those hazards.
The performance of a penetration seal is largely determined by how well it fits an opening and how well it accommodates cables and pipes. In the field, challenges are extensive due to the abundance of cables and pipes of various dimensions. Size tolerances make it hard to foresee the precise dimensions to seal.
This sets the backdrop to Roxtec and the invention of a unique technology that can handle all the variables customers face while sealing cable and pipe penetration points.
A Roxtec sealing unit can be adapted by a simple method -just peel the sealing unit, layer by layer, until the cable or pipe fits inside. The company says its "multidiameter" invention the most efficient solution available on the market today.
The system has revolutionized the sealing industry. Customers have chosen Roxtec as the reference standard, providing cost-efficient installation, handling and logistics.
