Committed to effective solutions in harsh environments

Established in 1971, the company has pioneered the technology of XLPE silane crosslinkable polyethylene compounds, and has been offering HFFR compounds for cable sheathing, wire insulation, pipe and fitting applications since 1982. Padanaplast Srl www.padanaplast.com

It also shows good flexibility, resistance to hot pressure up to 140°C, and com- pact char forming behaviour in case of fire. Padanaplast is based at Roccabianca, near Parma in Italy, and operates 14 production lines certified to EN ISO 9001, ISO EN 14001 and BS OHSAS 18001.

Padanaplast, specialising in polyolefin compounds for use in wires and cables, pipes and fittings, is continuously looking for new technological solutions to offer advanced products to the wire and cable industry. With its core technologies, Padanaplast is able to serve industry sectors that are demanding in terms of performance, technological know-how, competitiveness and safety. The new grade Cogegum® GFR 1907 offers an effective solution where chemical resistance and high self- extinguishing performance are required. Cogegum® GFR 1907 was conceived as an HFFR silane-crosslinkable material for jacketing. It offers high chemical resistance to fluids such as mineral oils, fuels, hydraulic oils, drilling fluids and other chemicals, where good retention of mechanical properties and low swelling are essential. It is suitable for on-shore and off-shore cables, chemical industry cables and windmill cables.
