The company o ers a wide portfolio of equipment that includes: Complete extrusion lines (insulating and sheathing); universal extruders and co-extruders; extruders for uorothermoplastics; cable rewinding lines; pay-o s and take- ups; natural diamond dies; synthetic mono-crystalline dies; polycrystalline diamond dies; extrusion tips; and pro le extrusion tools.

shrinkage of 1.3 per cent, with a UL-94 ammability rating of V-1 and oxygen index of 40 per cent. The company recommends Halguard 58625 compound for cable used in mass transit, data centres, cell towers, and other infrastructure applications. For outdoor uses, the new product exhibits good sunlight resistance when tested per UL-1581. “Halguard 58625 compound costs less than comparable premium materials while exhibiting little compromise in performance properties,” said David Braun, wire and cable industry manager for the vinyl division. “It is the newest member of a series of HFFR compounds developed by Teknor Apex to meet a range of customer needs while providing lower-cost alternatives to other Halguard and competing HFFR products in general-purpose applications.” With more than 30 years’ experience and a technical team dedicated to development and technical support in manufacturing steel reels, Telmaksan, of Turkey, sells its products to Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the domestic market. The range of products include one-way reels; standard reels for bunchers, drawing and stranding; double ange reels for the wire industry; and larger drums for the cable and rope industry. All its products are according to DIN speci cations, and non-standard products are manufactured according to customer requirements. Aluminium wire production is the second department of Telmaksan. Since 1998 the company has produced aluminium and aluminium alloy drawn wires for mechanical and electrical applications. The company supplies aluminium wire in a full size range from 0.12mm to 9.5mm that meets international standards. In addition to standard production of aluminium single wire, Telmaksan has developed the production of aluminium and aluminium alloy multi-wire. While concentrating on ne wire production in previous years, the company has expanded its range of products in aluminium wire in order to supply a The new compound is available worldwide.

Property data of the new compound

Halguard® 58625 compound has a UL-94 ammability rating of V-0 and an oxygen index of 50 per cent, while exhibiting post-extrusion linear shrinkage of only two per cent. The new product is an addition to the Halguard family of compounds providing an economical alternative to premium grades because of their innovative ame-retardant formulation. Low shrinkage is especially desirable in bre optic applications because it reduces the degree of stress imposed on the sensitive optical bres during post-extrusion temperature cycling and over time during end use. A low-shrinkage grade introduced in 2015, Halguard 58620, exhibits a Shore D hardness of 54 and
