Global expert in cables and cabling system.

PREVIOUS SITUATION

HFFR compound based on EVA and ATH.

SOLUTION NOW

HFFR compound based onLucofin® 1400MN and MDH.

BENEFITS TO THE CUSTOMER

  • Productivity increase of 25 % because EBA/MDH compounds can be extruded up to 206 °C during both compounding and cable manufacturing whereas extrusion melt temperatures of EVA / ATH compounds are restricted to temperatures below 200 °C
  • Improved low temperature properties due to low Tg of EBA
  • Better ageing properties and improved hydrolysis resistance
