Popularly known as KEI Rubber cables. Originally started with natural rubber insulation and sheath in late 70’s now has been replaced with diffent type of synthetic rubber. Keeping the commitment of expanding it’s product range company started manufacturing elastomeric cables in 2003. Since then company has developed comprehensive range of elastomeric cables. Technologically advanced polymers like EPDM ,CSP,CPE, PCP,NBR,EVA,Silicone halogen free , non toxic, heat, oil resistant and fire retardant compounds are specially formulated to manufacture these speciality cables.
The specially formulated compounds meets the requirements of IEC-60502, IS:6380, AS/NZ-3808, BS:7655, BS:6899, NEMA-WC-53 and other international standards.
