The Cable industry is one of the most innovative and competitive on global scale. 


 

Are you facing the challenges for halogen-free flame-retardant compounds like:

Achieving optimal electrical properties in thin cables under humid conditions, resistance to aggressive chemicals and oils, long-term resistance to high temperatures and oxidative/UV exposure, exceptional crack resistance at extreme temperatures (-60°C/+110°C), high extrusion speeds, and competitive formulation costs.


 

For the 4th year in a row, Silma’s expert presents results of internal R&D activity for the wide range of SILMAPROCESS, SILMASTAB and SILMALINK, special additives for cable compounds providing and boosting the: 


 

  • Hydrophobization of highly loaded HFFR compounds.
  • Hybrid coupling action in synergy with maleated polyolefins.
  • Silan and radiation crosslinking of PE, EPR/EPDM and HFFR compounds.
  • Stabilization for high T-rated compounds predicted by Arrhenius curve method.


 

SILMAPROCESS, SILMASTAB and SILMALINK for thermoplastic and crosslinked HFFR compounds will be described, with few practical examples.
