Addivant™, a polymer additive technologies company,
has launched Lowinox® Fast XL, the next generation liquid
antioxidant solution for the production of medium and
high-voltage cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cables.
Developed to meet the challenges faced by the cable industry,
Lowinox® Fast XL delivers new levels of productivity and cable
consistency, helping lower the total cost of ownership for the
cable industry.
Lowinox® Fast XL has been designed to provide an optimal
balance between scorch protection and crosslinking speed to
enable cable manufacturers to increase line speeds, improving
productivity gains without comprising on the reliability and
quality which is critical for cable longevity.
Manufactured in Germany, it meets all of the necessary quality
and high cleanliness standards needed for today’s medium, high
and extra high voltage XLPE compounds.
John Steitz, Addivant’s president and CEO, said: “We are very
excited to add Lowinox® Fast XL to our strong portfolio of
antioxidants and additives used in today’s wire and cable
industry.”
The new solution builds on Addivant’s reputation for technology
and quality, with industry benchmarks such as Lowinox® TBM6,
which has 40 years of proven success in the most demanding
power cable applications.
“Lowinox® Fast XL has been extensively researched and tested,
confirming that it overcomes the handling and consistency
issues related to the use of conventional liquid antioxidants.
“Cable producers will see clear benefits in terms of higher
throughput, lower costs through formulation optimisation and
less off-grade production due to improved cable consistency.”
To meet the growing demand for cables in the energy, ICT and
transportation sectors, suppliers are increasingly asked to deliver
systems which provide high reliability, cost effectiveness, safety
and a minimised environmental impact.
Addivant is well positioned to help meet these challenges with
a broad range of solutions, from high performance speciality
antioxidants for insulation and semi-con, to metal deactivators
and compatibilisers for HFFR cables.
