Teknor Apex
Stand: 09F05/03
A new low-smoke, flame-retardant thermo-
plastic elastomer (TPE) compound enables
manufacturers of power and other flexible
cords for appliances and consumer
electronics to produce non-PVC insulation
and jacketing that does not contain
phthalate plasticisers or halogen additives.
It was announced by Teknor Apex
Company.
Halguard® E 59001 halogen-free, flame-
retardant (HFFR) compound is designed for
flexible cords that meet UL 62 requirements
and for appliance wire that complies with
UL 758.
In addition to appliance wire, potential uses
include power cords for computers, HDMI
cables for televisions, wiring for device
chargers and USB connectors, and other
electronics applications.
The new compound enables cables to
meet the requirements of UL VW-1 and
Cable flame tests as well as the IEC 61034
smoke test.
When tested in accordance with UL 1581,
Halguard E 59001 meets deformation and
heat shock requirements at 150ºC, com-
pared to 121ºC for PVC. As a TPE-based
formulation, Halguard E 59001 is inherently
elastic, eliminating need for plasticiser.
“Halguard E 59001 is based on proprietary
polymer chemistry that yields a better
balance of properties than standard HFFR
cable compounds based on polyolefins,”
said Mike Patel, industry manager for
Teknor Apex.
“At the same time, our new compound
exhibits mechanical and electrical perfor-
mance comparable to that of PVC
while meeting the needs of wire and
cable manufacturers who require an
alternative to halogenated, plasticised
materials.”

Traxit
International
Stand: 09F26
Traxit International provides the wire
drawing industry with a complete range of
lubricants to suit all types of wire.
From simple beginnings in 1881 in
Schwelm, Germany, Traxit has grown to be
one of the largest wire drawing lubricant
producers in the world.
Now operating from its manufacturing
bases in Germany, China and USA, its
lubricants are sold throughout the world
with its own companies, agents or
representatives present in over 150
countries.
Throughout this time the company has
concentrated solely on wire drawing
lubricants and compounds and is the only
global supplier that maintains drawing
lubricants as its sole business.
With extensive research and development
facilities, all its technicians are devoted
exclusively to improving products and
processes for wire production.
With over 200 different formulations in its
product range Traxit is able to guarantee
the right product for all customer needs,
general and specialised.
The choice of the ideal lubricant requires as
much technical information as possible.
All products meet EC health and safety
regulations and are backed up with ISO
9001 and OSHAS 18001.
Due to the world price conflict of all raw
materials and general costs, Traxit is
continuously developing lubricants for
reduction of total production costs (€/wire).
This advantage of higher productivity helps
its customers produce their own material in
a cheaper way.
Traxit is always willing and ready to assist
and support for all technical requests
around the wire drawing process to find the
optimum result for its customers.
