ECRC® can safely be used in areas with ice-loads requirements, such as cold continental climates or mountain areas. Depending on ice-load requirements, we recommend to use ECRC® ULS (ultra low sag), which uses a composite core made out of an higher grade of carbon fiber (see mechanical properties)

Depending on your project, a 100% carbon fiber core solution with aluminium cladding can also be an excellent choice when ice loads are a major factor. Epsilon is also manufacturing such cores for stranders who developed their own HTLS solution, such as Nexans and De Angeli Prodotti.

Please contact our experts for a custom study about the acceptable ice load for your projects.
