The alliance agreement provides 3M Canada exclusive rights within Canada to sell and market three distinct products: TTS , KSR , and HSX heat Tracing Cables and :These heat Tracing Cables consist of a conductive-polymer heating matrix extruded between two parallel copper bus conductors.

4 heat is generated in the conductive polymer matrix when energized. The bus conductors provide uniform voltage across the heating matrix by providing current down the entire length of the cable . The conductive polymer matrix is irradiated with an electron beam to provide cross-linking and lock in performance the temperature increases, the electrical paths in the carbon-polymer heating matrix become longer and the resistance of the heating element increases. This causes the heat output of the cable to decrease. As the temperature of the heating matrix increases, the resistance of the heating matrix increases. This is a Self-Regulating heat Tracing Cables can adjust their output to the surrounding tem-perature down the cable length.

5 This adaptability to individual thermal conditions provides more heat where needed and can also reduce energy consumption as the ambient temperature increases, reducing heating : Self-Regulating heat output at any point Cut-to-length at any point down the cable No overheating Can overlap heating cable Economical, simple installation Safe assembly due to simple handling Low investment Reliable, long term performance2 Construction & Function3M Self-Regulating Heating Cables3M Self-Regulating heat Tracing Cables consist of a conductive-polymer heating matrix between two parallel bus conductors. Therefore the cable can be cut to any desired length without changing its heating matrix provides an infinite number of parallel resistances.

6 This provides the ability of the heating cable to respond to temperature conditions at any point down its length and adjust its heat grounding braid serves as a safety conductor and provides a continuous ground outer protective jacket protects against corrosion, chemicals, and adverse environmental Self-Regulating Heating Cables3 Construction:Construction & FunctionTTS Self-Regulating Heating Cablefor Pipe Freeze ProtectionDescription:Cut-to-length TTS Self-Regulating heating Cables are designed to provide freeze protection to metallic and non-metallic piping. Whether the application is a small project or a complex network, designing an electric heat trace system is easy with TTS heating refer to the TTS materials guide for Pipe Freeze Protection on page 8 of this catalogue for full heating Cables are are approved for use in ordinary (non-classified) and hazardous (classified) of Application.
