Sepiolite masterbatch for HFFR compounds

DELTA Tecnic perceives a growing interest, across different countries and for different cable applications, in synergic additives that improve cable behaviour in the event of fire. Since the beginning of this year Delta Tecnic has developed several technical projects with different manufacturers of compounds and cables which, with half the year gone, have already gone into production to meet the demands of customers. A few months ago Delta Tecnic announced the launch of Sepiolite Masterbatch for HFFR compounds, developed for use in compound formulations in combination with classic flame-retardant fillers in order to improve fire properties and optimise the cost of the final FR compounds. The result is a more solid char with better mechanical properties that limits the flame propagation, prevents the burned polymer from dripping and also strongly reduces fume generation and reduces swelling. This product, having passed the development phase, is now an approved product and is being purchased on a regular basis by the company’s main customers.
