Type 99T
Wire and cable
Type 99T wire has a dual wall
construction of modified polyester. This
combines excellent mechanical
performance and chemical resistance
with a range of enhanced fire hazard
properties. Type 99T wire is designed to
meet the stringent low hazard
performance now being specified by
many authorities, in particular for naval,
mass transit and industrial control panel
wiring.
Approvals
During the 1980’s there were major
changes in the demands of many wire
and cable specifications to reduce the
risks associated with all aspects of fire
hazards. Specifications such as Def Stan
61-12 Part 18, have been developed over
the last decade demanding improved
performance of wires and cables under
fire conditions.
This has led to a tightening of the
requirements for flammability, smoke
generation, corrosive gas generation and
hazardous fume emission. Type 99T wire
achieves these improvements in
performance whilst retaining small size,
light weight, flexibility, handleability,
resistance to carbon arc tracking and
resistance to chemicals and fluids.

Physical characteristics
Handleability
Type 99T wire has been designed to be readily
handleable by modern wiring and harnessing
techniques. It is a flexible wire with virtually no
springback once set. It is easily stripped with tools
such as conventional die-blade strippers.
Small size
Type 99T equipment wire has a nominal
0.2 mm insulation wall thickness which is
comparable to other established thin wall
wires such as Spec 44 wire.
Light weight
Type 99T wire is designed to have the
same weights as Spec 44 wire.

Environmental properties
Mechanical performance
The scrape abrasion and cut through resistance
of Type 99T wire out performs the well-
established performance of Spec 44 wire
throughout its operating temperature range.
Fluid resistance
Type 99T wire demonstrates outstanding
resistance to most acids, alkalis, hydrocarbon
solvents, fuels, lubricants and water.
Electrical arc tracking
Type 99T wire is resistant to electrical arc
tracking under both wet and dry conditions
Voltage ratings
Standard available voltage ratings for Type 99T
wire are 600 V (0.2 mm wall thickness) and
1000 V (0.3 mm wall thickness).
Fire hazard characteristics
Low Toxicity Index
Type 99T wire is designed to meet the low
hazardous fume emission levels required in
modern specifications.
For example, the change in the Toxicity Index
requirement from 1.5 to 0.2 between Issue 2
and Issue 3 of Defence Standard 61-12 (Part
18), is met by Type 99T wire.
Flammability
Type 99T wire has passed some of the most
stringent flammability tests, such as the test in
IEC 332 Part 3 (ladder test) and Underwriters
Laboratory for VW1 (individual wire).
Smoke generation
Type 99T wire has been designed to meet
stringent smoke tests such as those specified in
Def Stan 61-12 (Part 18) and in many mass
transit specifications.
Corrosivity
Type 99T wire has a low corrosive gas emission,
demonstrated by its low acid gas value.
