A new halogen-free ame-retardant
(HFFR) compound for bre optic cable
provides excellent ame retardance
while exhibiting signi cantly lower
post-extrusion shrinkage than similar
compounds with comparable ame
properties. The new product will be
among those featured by Teknor Apex on
its stand.
Halguard® 58625 compound has a UL-94
ammability rating of V-0 and an oxygen
index of 50 per cent, while exhibiting
post-extrusion linear shrinkage of only
two per cent.
The new product is an addition to the
Halguard family of compounds providing
an economical alternative to premium
grades because of their innovative
ame-retardant formulation.
Low shrinkage is especially desirable
in bre optic applications because it
reduces the degree of stress imposed
on the sensitive optical bres during
post-extrusion temperature cycling and
over time during end use. A low-shrinkage
grade introduced in 2015, Halguard 58620,
exhibits a Shore D hardness of 54 and
shrinkage of 1.3 per cent, with a UL-94
ammability rating of V-1 and oxygen
index of 40 per cent.
The company recommends Halguard
58625 compound for cable used in mass
transit, data centres, cell towers, and other
infrastructure applications.
For outdoor uses, the new product
exhibits good sunlight resistance when
tested per UL-1581.
“Halguard 58625 compound costs less
than comparable premium materials
while exhibiting little compromise in
performance properties,” said David Braun,
wire and cable industry manager for the
vinyl division.
“It is the newest member of a series of
HFFR compounds developed by Teknor
Apex to meet a range of customer needs
while providing lower-cost alternatives
to other Halguard and competing HFFR
products in general-purpose applications.”
The new compound is available
worldwide.
