Range for wire
production
Evonik Industries has extended its pro-
duct range of flame-retardant polyamide
12 compounds for cable conduits and
cable protection hoses.
Vestamid® EX9203 black, a highly flexible
moulding compound, is a response to
the increasingly tough requirements
in the electrical and cable industries.
The new compound is designed for
excellent fire-retardant properties and
a high oxygen index and, with an elastic
modulus of 770 MPa, is highly flexible.
This impact–resistant material will work
even at temperatures as cold as –50°C.
Halogen-free flame-retardant cable
conduits and cable protection hoses are
in particular demand for dynamically
highly stressed components, as in rail
vehicles, industrial plants, and mechanical
engineering.
