while being less expensive than premium
materials like thermoplastic polyurethane.”
Unlike standard flexible PVC, Flexalloy
compounds are based on ultra high
molecular weight PVC resin. They are
designed for improved abrasion resistance
and low temperature properties, and provide
elastomeric resilience and resistance to
compression set. The compounds can be
processed on standard PVC equipment,
and all materials in the Flexalloy family meet
requirements for a maximum continuous
operating temperature of 105ºC.
Cable conduit solution
Cable and conduit manufacturer,
Southwire has combined both products
in a Southwire SIMpull® solution for utility
customers, replacing Sentry CIC® cable
in its product lineup. ”Southwire SIMpull
Solutions products are specifically designed
to increase jobsite productivity, safety and
profitability. SIMpull Cable-in-Conduit meets
several important needs for our energy
industry customers,” said Michael Tribble,

SIMpull Cable-in-Conduit provides easy
one-step installation, cutting equipment
costs and reducing the amount of time
workers spend on installation. Safety is
also improved, with less time spent in
open trenches, close to traffic and pulling
heavy cables. SIMpull Cable-in-Conduit
is available in aluminum and copper
conductors and low and medium voltage
constructions, in a variety of conduit sizes
and continuous lengths. The high-density
polyethylene conduit meets ASTM and UL
standards.
Oil-resistant cable for industry
Molex Incorporated has launched a line of
weld-slag and oil-resistant (WSOR) cable
designed for use in harsh environments.
Offered in a wide range of standard and
custom termination styles, Molex WSOR
cable reduces inventory costs by offering
a single-cable solution for automotive,
material handling and other industrial
factory automation applications.
Riky Comini, business development director
for Molex industrial automation, explained:
“WSOR cable improves operational
efficiencies by offering industry’s widest
cross-section of styles for multiple
applications, from welding to cutting oil
environments.”
Rated for a wide temperature range (static
-40°C to +90°C), WSOR cable meets UL
758/1581 and VDE 472-803/B specifications.
Suitable for machine sensors, valves and
network connections, WSOR cable is
available in cross sections of 0.25, 0.34, 0.50,
and 0.75 to 1.50mm2.
