UKB is a leading manufacturer and supplier of Oil & Gas, Petrochemical Cables

UKB Electronics provides a specialized range of cables for the onshore and offshore Oil & Gas industry, engineered for absolute safety and reliability in hazardous and corrosive environments. As a key “Make in India” supplier to India’s strategic energy sector, our cables for power, control, and instrumentation ensure operational integrity where chemical resistance and fire safety are non-negotiable.

Product Anatomy

Oil & Gas cables are constructed with multiple layers of protection. They typically use tinned copper conductors for corrosion resistance. The insulation is a high-grade compound like XLPE or EPR. The key feature is the specialized outer sheath, made from materials like HFFR (Halogen-Free Flame Retardant) or compounds that are resistant to hydrocarbons (oil, gas, drilling mud), often referred to as MUD-resistant. Armouring, such as a tinned copper braid or steel wire, is common for mechanical and electrical protection.

Key Features & Customisation Options

Hazardous Area Compliance: Options available for compliance with IECEx/ATEX standards for explosive atmospheres.
Chemical & Mud Resistance: Sheathing compounds designed to resist hydrocarbons and drilling fluids as per standards like NEK 606.
Enhanced Fire Safety: Fire-resistant (IEC 60331) and LSZH/HFFR options for critical applications, especially on offshore platforms.
Robust Protection: Armoured with tinned copper braid (for offshore) or steel wire/tape (for onshore) for excellent mechanical resistance.
Applications: Onshore refineries, offshore platforms, pipelines, and all hazardous area installations.

Integrated Manufacturing Capabilities

Our ability to serve the Oil & Gas sector stems from our control over specialized material science:

Specialized Chemical-Resistant Compounding: Our in-house facility develops and produces the sheathing materials that are resistant to hydrocarbons, drilling mud, and other harsh chemicals found in the petrochemical industry.
LSZH/HFFR Compounding: We have dedicated facilities for formulating our own halogen-free, flame-retardant compounds, ensuring our cables meet the strict fire safety requirements for offshore platforms and confined spaces.
In-house Wire Tinning & Armouring: We manage the conductor tinning process for corrosion resistance and apply various types of armour in-house, providing a fully integrated, protected cable solution.
