demanding moving applications. The low brittleness temperature of certain Mecoline products for Arctic conditions ensures low material embrittlement, even when used in environments with intense temperatures. There are the optimum values with regard to thermal expansion, cold impact and the cold bend test, which make this Mecoline product range a choice for applications requiring exibility at low temperatures. Furthermore Melos o ers bedding compound solutions. The introduction of the new CPR urges cable manufacturers to review their cable designs. Melos is committed to support the cable industry, based on 30 years of experience with halogen-free, ame-retardant compounds. In accordance with the new product regulations (CPR), priority is given to saving lives, containing the blaze, and reducing damage in the case of re in a building. Cables play an important part in this process. Results were obtained recently by cable factories in the USA and Europe with speci c bedding compounds containing an e ective combination of mineral ame retardants. Test results with cerami able tapes have not reached the performance and price level of competitively priced, highly ame-retardant bedding compounds. Melos believes that, in the coming decades, matters such as heat release, ame propagation, toxic gases, low smoke and halogen-free will be key issues in the design of new worldwide cable constructions. Melos and Inhol o er di erent solutions to improve the ame retardancy properties of copper and optical bre cables to meet demanding regulations like the new CPR. As an experienced compounder, Melos is ready to guide its customers through the new speci cations and processing issues.
