Among recently developed series of RoHS-
compliant compounds are:
Dual-use Fireguard compounds for cable
with up to 200 pairs. These plenum
compounds are the first RoHS-compliant
Fireguard products for both insulation
and jacketing in up to 200-pair Category
3 cables, permitting a single-compound
system.
Enhanced-performance Fireguard com-
pounds. Among the new plenum
jacketing compounds are two series for
cables that have fluoropolymer (FEP)
insulation, one formulated for 4-pair
Category 6 applications and the other for
4-pair 10-gigabyte LAN cables and coaxial
cables; and a third series for 10 gigabyte
cables that have hybrid (fluoro-polymer
plus polyolefin) insulation, as well as for
fibre optic cables.

The companies that form the TKT group
– Tecnovo, Koner Dies, Tecnosider and
Teknodiam – have been operating in the wire
manufacturing industry since 1945.
They form a closely integrated operating unit,
the only supplier in the world that offers a full
range of services and products to the wire
manufacturing industry.
The TKT group works together with its
customers who benefit from the highly
specialised technical expertise of each
company.
Koner Dies:
Research, technological development and
thorough, updated knowledge of production
specifications have enabled Koner to achieve
excellent results in the manufacture of high-
quality tungsten carbide dies.
•
•
Koner specialises in the supply of rough and
finished dies and offers complete technology
for die manufacture and grinding.
Koner guarantees high die precision due
to exact inspection of concentricity and
finishing, and rigorous quality control.
Products include tungsten carbide nibs for
wire drawing, tungsten carbide drawing
dies, pressure dies. tungsten carbide wire
guides, bushes, rings and dies, machinery
and equipment for grinding tungsten
carbide and natural and synthetic diamond
drawing dies.
Tecnovo:
Tecnovo has been producing lubricants and
chemical products for the wire manufacturing
and metal working industry since 1945.
Tecnovo provides full and prompt technical
assistance from start to finish, and will
research and develop special lubricants and
products.
Efficient quality control means that
performance and reliability is always
guaranteed.
Products include tecnolubre powder
lubricants for dry drawing, sintek oils and
liquid compounds for wet drawing, tecnofix
pastes, greases and compounds for wire
drawing, tecnoline products for preparing
wire rods and wires for drawing, tecnolam
products for wire rod and wire rolling,
and tecnolux products for cleaning and
degreasing wire.
Tecnosider:
Tecnosider has been operating for many
years in the steel wire drawing industry and
its extensive knowledge of the market allows
them to be present in an advisory capacity
in the production world, enabling them
to find practical solutions based on actual
experience.
Teconsider has designed a new series of
pulling in dogs named TEK for easier and
better wire drawing.
The guiding principle, as with existing
Tecnosider pulling in dogs, is as always to
produce an extremely tough instrument,
given the heavy duty working conditions
under which they are normally used.
Special features of the new model include
versatility and ease of use – they have been
designed for working on both the left and
the right hand side; both pincers open
simultaneously and easily when the lever is
operated. The clamps are both fitted with
special guides; rapid and easy replacement of
clamps; the wire inserted in the clamps runs
inside the pincer and when necessary can
come out of the rear of the pincer through a
specially drilled guide. This makes it possible
to insert a length of wire into the pincer long
enough to tighten the clamps on a perfectly
intact part of the wire. This is important
because it prevents working on the part
which the sharpener has worked on, which
can easily break because it is very fragile
and cause the operation to be repeated and
valuable production time lost.
Teknodiam:
The clean, precise and constant profiles of the
working parts (cone and cylinder) required
for correct wire drawing are secured by high
precision grinding to guarantee wire quality,
long die life and high machine performance.
Teknodiam produces drawing dies, shaped
dies, wire extrusion nipples, component
part dies, in natural diamond and mono
or polycrystalline diamond. Customers
are provided with a reliable and prompt
reconditioning service for worn dies. The
drawing angles and the length of the
cylindrical part are ground to the exact
measurements requested, maintaining correct
die geometry. The clean, precise and constant
profiles of the working parts (cone and
cylinder) required for correct wire drawing
are secured by high precision grinding to
guarantee wire quality, long die life and high
machine performance.
