Tyco Thermal Controls' wiring products provide industrial and commercial environments with the benefits of mineral insulated technology.

We proudly offer a full line of products and services that are designed and engineered to meet the wiring needs of a diverse range of markets, including: petrochemical, power generation, pulp and paper, mines and manufacturing, tunnels and subways, high-rise buildings, airports, historic buildings, health care facilities, military and scientific.

AIRPORTS

learn more >>

Airports present unique safety challenges as aviation fuel is pumped from storage facilities to planes in close proximity to high volumes of passengers and personnel. Safety systems take priority in the design of airports, as real life airport fires have all-too-vividly demonstrated the severity of panic and confusion that can be created by smoke and loss of power.""

HEALTH CARE FACILITIES

Learn more >>

Emergency evacuation of health care facilities and other institutional buildings is no easy task. Special care must be taken when the mobility of occupants is restricted. Accordingly, building codes require that fire protection and fire alarm systems are constructed with certain precautions in mind and that they meet certain, stringent safety standards.

HIGH RISE BUILDINGS

learn more >>

The time to evacuate a high-rise building is largely indeterminate due to slow response by occupants and panic and confusion created by smoke and loss of power. Directed/phased evacuation is being implemented increasingly by Fire Departments in higher occupancy buildings, where the evacuation is controlled and coordinated with firefighting efforts so as to prevent people from entering high risk areas. For this reason, it is more important than ever before that the emergency circuits and fire alarm system notification circuits maintain integrity throughout the fire. Tyco Thermal Controls offers a complete range of fire-rated cable to meet these requirements.

HISTORIC BUILDINGS

learn more >>

Protection from fire is a prime concern in historic or "heritage" buildings, yet modernization and upgrading of facilities often does not allow for extensive building alteration. Both our Pyrotenax and Raychem brands offer unique, easy-to-implement solutions when it comes to these special types of buildings.

MILITARY & SCIENTIFIC

learn more >>

Both the military and the scientific communities have unique wiring needs. The military often requires cable that can be hermetically sealed off, is radiation resistant, and is equipped with explosion-proof fittings. Scientific applications include the need for cables which can carry large amounts of current and can withstand high temperatures. Tyco Thermal Controls offers mineral insulated and polymer insulated cables for these specific types of applications.

MINES AND MANUFACTURING

learn more >>

The presence of gases or fumes in hazardous environments requires a system to block the passage of explosive vapors. For example, the compressed MgO insulation in Pyrotenax ® wiring cables stops the passage of helium gas at 2000 psi.

PETROCHEMICAL

learn more >>

The ravages of small fires can rapidly escalate into catastrophic proportions when a refinery shutdown system does not function properly.

POWER GENERATION

learn more >>

Continuous high temperature environments accelerate the aging characteristics of conventional wiring systems over time resulting in brittle insulation and premature failure.

PULP AND PAPER

learn more >>

The presence of corrosive environments during routine operation or in an upset condition requires additional measures of equipment protection.

TUNNELS AND SUBWAYS

learn more >>

The possibility of accidents and fire in subways and tunnels is a very real and constant threat. Codes spell out minimum requirements, are not always stringent, and generally improve only after tragedies occur. In these high risk environments, good engineering practices combined with the use of quality brand wiring systems, such as Raychem or Pyrotenax, will help ensure that the highest level of safety practices are being applied.
