ATEX Approved Cable Conduit for Hazardous Areas

PMA Ex-System XESX Three Layer Corrugated Conduit

PMA’s polyamide cable conduit products present a range of benefits, including a significantly easier installation.

ATEX certified cable conduit contains products made of specially modified, electrostatic load discharging polyamide material for use in explosions endangered zones 1/2 (gas) and 21/22 (dust) according to ATEX 137. The cable conduit system technology is based on the PMA protection system for highest requirements proven for more than 30 years.

PMA has developed a specifically modified, electrical discharging material, the Ex-system range therefore will not act as an ignition source. With a range of cable conduit fittings that can go from flexible to solid steel, it’s ideal for going around corners, can be adapted to suit any application and is suitable for use in dusty environments.

Tony Hollands, national sales manager of Swiss cable manufacturer PMA-UK said: "The system technology is based on the PMA cable protection system for highest requirements proven for more than thirty years. The new ATEX approved hazardous area range means PMA products can be used across an even broader range of applications – ideal for use in breweries where hops could cause ignition and places where potentially hazardous environments exist such as refineries, power stations, paint shops and petrol stations."
