UL-recognised PVC compounds

formulations to meet special electrical compliance, flame retardance, weatherability, oil resistance, sunlight resistance, and many other end-use requirements • Fireguard ® low-flame, low-smoke compounds for plenum cable insulation and jacketing • Flexalloy ® PVC elastomers for extreme temperatures and environments. With a brittle point of -60°C and a high-temperature rating of 105°C, these compounds are UL-recognised components for outdoor and wet location uses and UL-approved for flexible cord insulation and jacketing In addition, Teknor Apex supplies Halguard ® halogen-free compounds, which are flame-retardant, low-smoke products that meet IEC specifications for smoke generation and flame spread and enable compliance with Europe’s CPR fire performance requirements. In China, Teknor Apex produces PVC wire and cable compounds in Suzhou. Other PVC compounding activities are carried out in Singapore, USA and Europe.

Air filters made of stainless steel mesh offer significant benefits as pre-filters in building and plant construction. They protect sensitive cooling fins against premature wear caused by debris build-up; support hygienic conditions in evaporative coolers; and prevent legionella contamination in cooling water systems. At the same time, they are quick and easy to clean, support a long service life and even offer protection against hail damage through stability. Plant operators who pay attention to the quality of filters can take full advantage of these features. In practice, the filter design and quality determines performance and pressure losses in filter systems as well as maintenance requirements and energy efficiency of cooling systems and air conditioners. Residue-free, cleaned air has a positive influence on people and processes. In 100 years of corporate history, Dorstener Drahtwerke has constantly developed its product range and adapted it to the trends. The company – headquartered in Germany – specialises in manufacturing complex metal meshes and robust material compounds, which can be used in various applications. Its main focus is on the quality of the finished products, just as it was 100 years ago.
