Low-Fire-Hazard Wire and Cable Type 99M Product Facts n Low flammability Low smoke generation n Low toxicity index n Low generation of corrosive gases n Small size, lightweight n Applications During the 1980's there were major changes in the demands of many wire and cable specifications to reduce the risks associated with all aspects of fire Available in: This has led to a tightening of the requirements for flammability, smoke generation, corrosive gas generation and hazardous fume emission. Type 99M wire achieves these improvements in performance whilst retaining small size, light weight, flexibility, handleability, resistance to carbon arc tracking and resistance to chemicals and fluids. Physical Characteristics Handleability Type 99M wire has been designed to be compatible with modern wiring and harnessing techniques. It is a flexible wire with virtually no springback once set. It is easily stripped with tools such as conventional die-blade strippers. 9 Small Size Type 99M equipment wire has a nominal 0.2 mm insulation wall thickness which is comparable to other established thin wall wires such as SPEC 44 wire. Wire and Cable Type 99M wire has a dual wall construction of radiation cross-linked modified polyester. This combines excellent mechanical performance and chemical resistance with a range of enhanced fire hazard properties. Type 99M wire is designed to meet the stringent low fire hazard performance now being specified by many authorities, in particular for naval, mass transit and industrial control panel wiring. hazards. Specifications such as Def Stan 61-12 Part 18, have been developed over the last decade demanding improved performance of wires and cables under fire conditions. Light Weight Type 99M wire is designed to have the same weights as SPEC 44 wire.

Type 99M wire is designed to meet the low hazardous fume emission levels required in modern specifications. For example, the change in the Toxicity Index requirement from 1.5 to 0.2 between Issue 2 and Issue 3 of Def Stan 61-12 (Part 18), is met by Type 99M wire. Type 99M wire has a low corrosive gas emission, demonstrated by its low acid gas value and meets the latest requirements of low fire hazard specifications. Fluid Resistance Type 99M wire demonstrates outstanding resistance to most acids, alkalis, hydrocarbon solvents, fuels, lubricants and water. Flammability Type 99M wire is resistant to electrical arc tracking under both wet and dry conditions. Type 99M wire has passed some of the most stringent flammability tests, such as the test in IEC 332 Part 3 (ladder test) and Underwriter's Laboratory for VW1 (individual wire) Voltage Ratings Smoke Generation Standard available voltage ratings for Type 99M wire are 600 V (0.2 mm wall thickness) and 1000 V (0.3 mm wall thickness). Type 99M wire has been designed to meet stringent smoke tests such as those specified in Def Stan 61-12 (Part 18) and in many mass transit specifications.
