rated at 105ºC for maximum continuous operating temperature. Two jacketing compounds based on blends of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and thermo- plastic polyurethane (TPU) provide outstanding resistance to the aggressive end-use conditions often encountered by industrial cables. Applications recommended for Apex ® P-55003 and P-55004 compounds include factory automation networks, industrial robots, and other plant systems requiring data or control cable. excellent tensile properties associated with TPUs, the compounds provide resistance to oil and chemicals, toughness at low temperatures, and oxygen indices comparable to those of standard PVC jacketing compounds for industrial cable. HFFR compounds: HalGuard ® halogen- free compounds are highly ame retardant and generate low smoke, while processing on extruders designed for PVC/PE and exhibiting a good balance of mechanical properties. These products meet requirements for audio and video, control, electronic interconnect, and tray cables; power cords; and copper and optical bre data cables. Flame performance ratings range from VW-1 (UL-1581) to FT-4 (UL-1685). Service temperatures range from 75ºC to 105ºC. The vinyl division of Teknor Apex supplies the wire and cable industry with RoHS and REACH-compliant, UL-Recognised Apex ® exible and semi-rigid PVC, Fireguard ® plenum compounds, Flexalloy ® UHMW-PVC elastomers, Halguard ® low smoke halogen-free FR compounds, and Vidux ® and Polydux ® conductive compounds.

➣➢➣ TECNOLUBRE FM 195

Tecnolubre FM195 is a calcium-based lubricant, 100 per cent free from titanium dioxide. As demonstrated by rigorous tests conducted by leading companies, this substance causes serious di culties with subsequent wire treatments including pickling, annealing, coating and wet wire drawing and it exerts a severe abrasive action on capstan coatings.

Teknor Apex Stand: 09/F05-03

Teknor Apex will highlight three product areas of special interest to the European market: PVC elastomer jacketing com- pounds for the rapidly growing wind energy industry; PVC-TPU blends for industrial cable jacketing; and low smoke halogen- free ame retardant (LS-HFFR) compounds for insulation and jacketing. Wind turbine cable compounds: Two high-performance jacketing compounds withstand the harsh cold, exposure to lubricants, and other challenging conditions encountered by control and power cables within the nacelles high atop wind turbine towers.

Flexalloy ® 9609-80 is an 80 Shore A PVC-based elastomer that provides superior long-term UV resistance. It exhibits a brittle point of -60ºC. Apex ® N-56001 is a 76 Shore A blend of PVC and nitrile rubber that provides superior long-term low-temperature exibility and excellent oil resistance. It exhibits a brittle point of -54ºC. Besides exceeding appli- cation standards for impact resistance at temperatures down to -40ºC, both compounds pass required tests for UV resistance, 60-day oil aging at 75ºC, and ammability performance as speci ed in UL 1685-FT4. The two compounds are
