➣➢➣TECNOLUBRE FM 195
Tecnolubre FM195 is a calcium-based
lubricant, 100 per cent free from titanium
dioxide. As demonstrated by rigorous
tests conducted by leading companies,
this substance causes serious di culties
with subsequent wire treatments
including pickling, annealing, coating and
wet wire drawing and it exerts a severe
abrasive action on capstan coatings.
SINTEK FL Line
Sintek FL Line emulsi able oils for wet
wire drawing is made from natural
products and renewable sources. This
product line is already a high quality
international leader, subject to constant
improvement and with a broad range
of products for di erent wire drawing
applications.

Teknor Apex
Stand: 09/F05-03
Teknor Apex will highlight three product
areas of special interest to the European
market: PVC elastomer jacketing com-
pounds for the rapidly growing wind
energy industry; PVC-TPU blends for
industrial cable jacketing; and low smoke
halogen- free ame retardant (LS-HFFR)
compounds for insulation and jacketing.
Wind turbine cable compounds: Two
high-performance jacketing compounds
withstand the harsh cold, exposure
to lubricants, and other challenging
conditions encountered by control and
power cables within the nacelles high
atop wind turbine towers.
Flexalloy ® 9609-80 is an 80 Shore A
PVC-based elastomer that provides
superior long-term UV resistance. It
exhibits a brittle point of -60ºC. Apex®
N-56001 is a 76 Shore A blend of PVC
and nitrile rubber that provides superior
long-term low-temperature exibility and
excellent oil resistance. It exhibits a brittle
point of -54ºC. Besides exceeding appli-
cation standards for impact resistance
at temperatures down to -40ºC, both
compounds pass required tests for UV
resistance, 60-day oil aging at 75ºC, and
ammability performance as speci ed
in UL 1685-FT4. The two compounds are
rated at 105ºC for maximum continuous
operating temperature.
Industrial cable compounds: Two
jacketing compounds based on blends
of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and thermo-
plastic polyurethane (TPU) provide
outstanding resistance to the aggressive
end-use conditions often encountered by
industrial cables.
Applications recommended for Apex®
P-55003 and P-55004 compounds include
factory automation networks, industrial
robots, and other plant systems requiring
data or control cable.
Besides exhibiting the superior
abrasion resistance and excellent
tensile properties associated with TPUs,
the compounds provide resistance to
oil and chemicals, toughness at low
temperatures, and oxygen indices
comparable to those of standard PVC
jacketing compounds for industrial cable.
HFFR compounds: HalGuard® halogen-
free compounds are highly ame
retardant and generate low smoke, while
processing on extruders designed for
PVC/PE and exhibiting a good balance of
mechanical properties.
These products meet requirements for
audio and video, control, electronic
interconnect, and tray cables; power
cords; and copper and optical bre data
cables.
Flame performance ratings range from
VW-1 (UL-1581) to FT-4 (UL-1685). Service
temperatures range from 75ºC to 105ºC.
The vinyl division of Teknor Apex supplies
the wire and cable industry with RoHS and
REACH-compliant, UL-Recognised Apex®
exible and semi-rigid PVC, Fireguard®
plenum compounds, Flexalloy® UHMW-PVC
elastomers, Halguard® low smoke
halogen-free FR compounds, and Vidux®
and Polydux® conductive compounds.
