The products that were subjected to the 28-day test using cleaning/disinfecting substances Topactive 200, Topactive 500, P3-topax 66, P3-topactive OKTO, and P3-topax 990 along with demineralized water (used for zero reference value) were:

PVC/Nylon Insulated, PVC Jacketed, NFPA 79 Complaint Control Cables

  • • TRAYCONTROL 300 / TRAYCONTROL 300-C
  • • TRAYCONTROL 300 TP / TRAYCONTROL 300 TP-C

XLPE Insulated, PVC Jacketed, NFPA 79 Complaint VFD Motor Cables

• TOPFLEX 600 VFD

The cable families mentioned above were tested in accordance with ECOLAB test PM 40-1, which requires cables to be completely immersed in the various cleaning/disinfecting substances for up to 28 days at constant room temperature. Upon complete of the immersion test cables are then subjected to visual inspection to see if any swelling, brittleness or discoloring has occurred in comparison to the cables immersed in demineralized water. Additional information on each of the ECOLAB cleaning/disinfecting substances used in the testing process:

  • • Topactive 200: Alkaline, chlorine-free foam cleaner in the food and beverage industries
  • • Topactive 500: Acid foam cleaning substance for the food and beverage industries
  • • P3-topax 66: Alkaline foam cleaning detergent with active chlorine for machine cleaning in the food and beverage industries
  • • P3-topactive OKTO: Acid disinfectant based on peracetic acid/hydrogen peroxide for the food and beverage industries
  • • P3-topax 990: Neutral, non-oxidizing disinfecting agent for foam application in the food and beverage industries
