Solvay Padanaplast SpA
Booth: Italian pavilion
Solvay Padanaplast SpA confirms a
commitment to develop ambient curing
and environment-friendly crosslink-
able materials for wire and cable
insulation and sheathing, ready-to-use
on standard extrusion lines.
Cogegum® GFR/365 is a cross-linkable
LS0H compound for sheathing and
insulation purposes, exhibiting high oil,
fuel and chemical resistance.
Typical applications include railway
rolling stock, offshore platforms,
industrial and shipboard wiring cables.
Cogegum® GFR/325 is a best selling
grade for BS 7211 EI5 applications
and a new reference for single and
multi-core H07ZZ and fire resistant
cables.
Cogegum® GFR/340, due to its high
thermo-mechanical resistance, can be
used for heat resistant flame retardant
cables.
It offers high flexibility, high extrusion
speed on conventional extrusion lines
and fast ambient curing.
No emission of acid and corrosive
gases in the case of fire completes the
performance profile of this compound.
Polidiemme® G/450 is an ultra-
flexible elastomer-based crosslinkable
compound for power, heat resistant,
special and very flexible cable
insulation and sheathing.
Typical applications include welding,
H05RR-F, general industrial, immer-
sion water pump and EPDM and
EPR cables.
