Heating cables from Chemelex Raychem
Chemelex Raychem heating cables, formerly known as nVent Raychem, are leading solutions for all your heating needs.
Our self-regulating heating cables are designed to automatically adjust their heat output based on ambient conditions, resulting in a more efficient and cost-effective heating system.
Self-regulating heating cables feature innovative technology that varies the cable’s heat output depending on the surrounding temperature. When the temperature rises, the cable’s ability to produce heat decreases; when the temperature drops, the output increases. This automatic adjustment ensures that no more energy is used than necessary, resulting in significant energy savings and higher efficiency.
Chemelex Raychem self-regulating heating cables are versatile and suitable for various applications, including industrial, commercial, and residential environments.
By choosing Chemelex Raychem self-regulating heating cables, you invest in an innovative, reliable, and efficient heating solution that meets all your needs. Whether for industrial process maintenance, commercial heating systems, or residential comfort heating, we have the right solution for you.

Frequently Asked Questions about self-regulating heating cables
Applications that require heating cables for frost protection include safeguarding water pipes, gutters, storage tanks, industrial pipelines, and more, from freezing and ice formation.
Yes, self-regulating heating cables are generally energy-efficient because they only generate heat when needed, preventing waste.”
The lifespan of heating cables can vary depending on the type of cable, installation conditions, and usage. Generally, high-quality heating cables have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years. Regular maintenance and adherence to recommended usage instructions can help extend their lifespan.
Constant wattage heating cables provide a constant heat output regardless of the ambient temperature, making them ideal for applications that require consistent heat. In contrast, self-regulating cables adjust their output based on the temperature, making them more energy-efficient but less suitable for applications that need constant temperatures.
Self-regulating heating cables adjust their heating output based on the surrounding temperature. As the temperature decreases, their heat output increases, and vice versa. This makes them energy-efficient and prevents overheating.
Heating cables are flexible electric cables that generate heat for various applications. They are primarily used for frost protection of pipes, gutters, and surfaces, as well as for temperature control in industrial processes and floor heating.
