Los Angeles, CA—July 13, 2026—Philatron Wire and Cable announced the installation of a new high-heat silicone wire and cable production line, which also adds in-house silicone tubing capability. The line is intended to support military and industrial applications that demand extreme thermal and environmental resistance.
Meeting critical demands in harsh environments
Modern military and industrial systems operate under severe conditions where traditional insulation can fail from extreme temperatures or constant flexing. Philatron’s silicone production line is designed to deliver wiring and tubing that maintain structural integrity and electrical performance in such environments.
Key features for military and industrial use
- Extreme temperature resilience: Operates continuously in temperatures ranging from -60°C to over 200°C.
- High flexibility: Maintains flexibility across its temperature range for routing in tight spaces.
- Chemical and environmental resistance: Resists ozone, UV radiation, moisture, oil, and harsh industrial chemicals.
- Superior flame retardancy: Low toxicity and self-extinguishing properties minimize hazards during fire events.
- High dielectric strength: Provides electrical insulation under high-voltage stress.
- Silicone tubing utility: Offers fluid transport options resistant to kinking, heat, and pressure deformation.
Manufacturing and standards
The addition of the silicone extrusion line reinforces Philatron’s focus on vertical integration and quality control. By producing silicone wire, cable, and tubing entirely in-house, the company cites full traceability and adherence to military standards (MIL-SPEC) and industrial certifications.
“Our investment in this high-heat silicone line represents our dedication to engineering excellence,” said Phil Ramos Jr., CEO of Philatron Wire and Cable. “We are empowering our military and industrial partners with American-made components that guarantee reliability in the most punishing environments on earth.”
For over 40 years, Philatron Wire and Cable has specialized in custom wire and cable solutions for the defense, aerospace, trucking, and heavy industrial markets. The company reports 100% domestic production.
