The 304 series is an economical glass braid that can be used in a wide range of applications.  Each conductor is glass braided, color coded and impregnated with a resin that inhibits fraying and reduces friction.  A final layer of fiberglass is applied over the parallel conductors and a coat of resin is applied.  

Wire is available in ASTM E 230 Type J or K, 20 AWG or 24 AWG, solid conductors or stranded for flexibility.

This construction allows for a temperature rating of 900°F (482°C) continuously and spikes of 1000°F (538°C).  The impregnation resin will burn off a 400°F (204°C).

Suggested uses: Furnace survey work, heat treating, foundries, glass and ceramic plants. Extruders, Injection molding and vacuum forming.
