Underground cables and foils must be protected against mechanical damage. Damage is often caused by stones and gravel penetrating the sand base. It is important as well to protect the cables in the digger trench against damage. Some on the market established systems like cable guards and cable protection files often have constructional disadvantages. They need to be installed meter by meter. The pounding of gravel and stone filling may cause shifting or even breakage at the joints that can reduce the protection function. Furthermore, the shifting is time-consuming and expensive. While excavator works guards and tiles are often damaged and during re-excavation the joints impede the usage of shovels.
What makes our KEKOPLAST® cable protection foils special
/// KEKOPLAST® cable protection foils No. 08 (from 1,5 mm thickness) and No.09 (up to 1 mm thickness) on a reel offer optimal protection. The foils can be simply rolled out in the trench to safe time and costs. The tape prevents stones and gravel from penetrating the sand base. As a result, shifting during pounding work will be nearly impossible.
/// The smooth surface of the cable protection foils facilitate shovelling during re-excavation work. Even a toothless excavator shovel could slide across the foils without causing any damage. For this reason the refill material is neatly separated from the sand base. Punching allows moisture penetration and avoid undesirable accumulation of heat.
/// KEKOPLAST® offers cable protection foils on a coil with thickness `s of 0,5 mm to 4 mm (punching holes are possible up to 1 mm material thickness). Cable protection foils are resistant to ageing and rot, against heat (until + 80 C °), coldness (until – 15 C °) and humidity, even in aggressive grounds. The printing text is permanently legible and readable to protect against influences from outside by a transparent lamination.
/// Like all KEKOPLAST® products cable protection foils are made of polyethylene that behaves absolutely environmental-friendly.

KEKOPLAST No. 08 Cable Protection Foil
(strong quality) according to the DIN 54841-5
Underground cables and pipes must be protected against mechanical damage. Often damage is caused by stones and gavel penetrating the sand base. Protection is also vital during re-excavation work.
Some of the usual systems available on the market, like Cable Guards and Cable Protection Tiles, often have constructional disadvantages. They have to be installed metre by metre. The pounding of gavel and stone filling may cause shifting or even breakage at the joints which can be counter-productive to protection. Furthermore, the installation is time-consuming and expensive. During re-excavation the joints impede the usage of shovels and while working with excavators, guards and tiles are often damaged.
KEKOPLAST Cable Protection Foil offers optimal protection. For installation, the product is simply rolled out in the trench, saving time and money. The foil is preventing stones and gavel from penetrating the sand base. Shifting is impossible during pounding work. The smooth surface of the tape assures easy shovelling during re-excavation work. Even a toothless excavator shovel can slide across the tape without causing damage. The refill material is therefore neatly separated from the sand base. Perforation allows moisture penetration and unwanted accumulation of heat is prevented.
KEKOPLAST offers the Cable Protection Foil on a reel, in a thickness of 0,5 mm to 4 mm (perforation possible for up to 1 mm thickness). The Cable Protection Foil is truly resistant to ageing, rot, heat (up to +60°C), cold (up to -40°C) and humidity, even in aggressive grounds.
The print is permanently legible and protected against outside influences by a transparent lamination.
Like all KEKOPLAST products, the Cable Protection Foil is produced of Polyethylene and therefore environmantally neutral.
