Balmoral technical and engineering teams developed a unique fibre-reinforced cable protection solution that is designed to provide maximum performance for life of field installations: Balmoral FibreFlex.
The patented system mechanically locks to the end connectors removing a reliance on PU bonding, which is notoriously unpredictable, while providing market-leading strain and stiffness levels that are unachievable using traditional PU manufacturing methods. These innovations also contribute to greatly increased fatigue life.
Balmoral FibreFlex provides an increase in axial tension capacity by a factor of two while controlling axial elongation. The system increases bend stiffness by a factor of 1.5 allowing improved control and reduction in the cable’s maximum bend radius within a slimline profile.
Proven long-term creep performance is a substantial improvement on traditional CPS while bending and axial stiffness is optimised without having to qualify alternative PU materials.
Balmoral FibreFlex represents a significant step forward for CPS offering cost-effective performance enhancement across installation, management and maintenance.
