Industry’s Best Welding Cable

We know it’s a tall claim – claiming our ToughFlex™ welding cable is the industry best. We stand behind that statement. By the end of this article we are confident you will too.

What Makes a Welding Cable Quality?

When it comes to welding, there are many critical qualities important for choosing the best welding cable for your job. Here we cover the top components of a quality welding cable:

Durability –

Your cable needs to be durable. If not, you are looking at serious hazards. ToughFlex™ cable is jacketed with EPDM that resists cuts, tears, abrasion, grease, oil, water, and flame – tested to prove its long-lasting durability.

Safety –

If you don’t know your welding cable’s safety ratings, you put end-users of the cable at risk. ToughFlex™ is rated to meet National Electrical Code Article 630 electric welders with operational temperature ranges from -40C to 105C. Meets UL VW-1 flame test as outlined in UL1581.

Conductivity –

Once you have durability & safety covered, then you want the benefits of high conductivity. ToughFlex™ is manufactured with high-quality annealed 30-gauge bare copper conductor – making its conductivity top-notch!

Flexible –

Along with excellent conductivity, you don’t want to sacrifice ease of use. ToughFlex™ comes with both exceptional conductivity and high flexibility. A combination of our copper stranding and EPDM jacket allows superior flexibility above other welding cables.

What Makes ToughFlex™ The Industry’s Best Welding Cable?

ToughFlex™ meets all the criteria above as we touched on already. This is why we believe it has continued to be the best-selling welding cable available and are confidient it will continue to do so.

ToughFlex™ is extremely durable. It is jacketed with an EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer). This synthetic rubber jacket excels in resistance allowing ToughFlex™ to prevent cuts, tears & abrasion and withstand grease, oil, water, and flame.

ToughFlex™ undergoes intense testing and analysis proving its safety for welding. ToughFlex™ is rated to 600 Volts, meets the National Electrical Code article 630 electric welders, and UL VW-1 flame test outlined in UL1581. Along with the extensive testing, Kalas’ has more than 60 years in manufacturing copper wire & cable, touting a history of expertise. Therefore we are able to put our customers’ minds at ease by knowing they are receiving a product manufactured by experts in the field.

One of the top reasons ToughFlex™ is the best welding cable is its conductor – our copper. It’s Annealed 30 (0.010) gauge bare copper conductor with class K stranding. We start with 5/16” copper rod and with our rod mill we are able to draw down the copper to a finished gauge ready for jacketing. This gives Kalas complete control of the quality, efficacy, and craftsmanship of each product. The fine Annealed 30 gauge (0.010) bare copper conductor makes ToughFlex™ extremely flexible and easy to work with, coil and store. At Kalas, we are proud of our manufacturing process and the complete control it offers to our customers.
