RAYCHEM SB H56857 IndsHeatTracingNAM EN
In 1972, the heat tracing division of the Raychem Corporation (now a part of nVent) patented and produced
the first commercially successful electric self-regulating heat tracing cable. The technology was celebrated
as the 200th induction into IEEE’s historic Milestones Program in 2019. nVent is the proud producer of the
world’s #1 conductive polymer self-regulating heat tracing cable.

Complete Electric Heat-Tracing System
An electrical heat-tracing system is much more than just the heating cable.
nVent provides a complete system including the transformer, control and monitoring
panels, power connections, heating cable, end terminations, and related accessories
where all parts are designed and certified to function as a complete system.
We manage the heat you need – from pipe freeze protection, or process temperature
maintenance, to process heat-up applications.

Innovative Heating Cable Systems
SELF-REGULATING TECHNOLOGY
nVent RAYCHEM revolutionized the heat-tracing industry when it invented self-regulating heater technology over 50 years ago.
Self-regulating heating cables incorporate a heating element made of polymer mixed with conductive carbon black. This special
formulation of materials creates an electrical path for conducting current between the parallel bus wires along the entire cable
length. In each heating cable, the number of electrical paths between the bus wires changes in response to temperature
fluctuations, allowing for more uniform temperatures. Additionally, the ability to cut-to-length on site allows for easy installation.
High Power Retention Technology: With decades of experience in polymer science technology, nVent RAYCHEM’s newest
HTV and XTVR cables were developed with a High Power Retention (HPR) heating cores to maintain superior levels of
performance and design life.
Applications include: freeze protection, temperature maintenance, viscosity control, or anti-condensation for any process in
pipes, tanks or vessels.
