Actual demand of cable industry is growing for HFFR compounds complying with global standards and suitable for extreme conditions like harsh tropical summers and cold polar winters.

Due to shortage of traditional raw materials like EVA and fine precipitate ATH, and the tremendous increase of prices, producers and users of HFFR compounds are facing new challenges:

To reformulate HFFR compounds with alternative raw materials by guaranteeing the same processability and the same performances.
To optimize the compounding technology and the cable extrusion to use the new HFFR compounds in the same lines and at the same output.
With the new HFFR compounds, to produce cables, passing the same CPR class, especially “Bca” and “d0”

For the 2nd year, webinar presents new possibilities and new applications for Silma’s chemical solutions:

Processing aid (Silmaprocess)
Hydrophobic agent (Silmastab)
Coupling agent (Silmalink)
Antidripping/char-forming (Silmaflame)

An original formulative strategy is described to evolve the HFFR formulations from traditional EVA+ATH to POE+MDH.
