Glands: Polystyrene – INTERFLEX

Polystyrene cable glands, specifically from the INTERFLEX series, are designed for securing and sealing cables in low-stress industrial and commercial environments. These glands are manufactured from high-impact polystyrene, offering excellent electrical insulation properties and resistance to a wide range of chemicals and moisture. They are typically available in a range of metric thread sizes (e.g., M12, M16, M20, M25, M32) and are suitable for cable diameters from 3 mm up to 21 mm, depending on the model. The INTERFLEX series features a simple two-part construction (body and cap nut) for quick installation without special tools, and they provide a degree of protection up to IP65 when properly fitted, ensuring dust-tight and water-jet protection. These glands are a cost-effective alternative to nylon or brass variants for non-armoured cables in indoor applications.

These polystyrene glands are primarily used for cable entry and strain relief in control panels, junction boxes, distribution boards, and lighting fixtures. They are ideal for applications in building services, HVAC systems, data centres, and light industrial automation where mechanical strength requirements are moderate. Their non-corrosive nature makes them suitable for environments with high humidity or exposure to mild chemicals, such as food processing areas or clean rooms. They are also commonly employed in telecommunications and security systems for routing sensor and signal cables.

The main subcategories within this range include standard metric cable glands, reducing glands, and blind plugs. Key article codes follow the pattern "INTERFLEX-PS-M" followed by the thread size (e.g., INTERFLEX-PS-M16 for a M16 gland). Other common variants include INTERFLEX-PS-M20, INTERFLEX-PS-M25, and INTERFLEX-PS-M32, each designed for specific cable clamping ranges. The code structure typically indicates the material (PS for polystyrene), the series (INTERFLEX), and the thread dimension. Accessories such as lock nuts and sealing washers are also available to complement the installation.
