Svensson Group
Stand: 11H73
Svensson Group is a corporate group
specialising in storage and handling
equipment with emphasis in cables and the
wire industry. Svensson produces and
designs cable drums made of wood,
plywood, plastic and steel and related
lifting and handling equipment.
Supplying the cable and wire industry with
a wide range of drums and other
packaging, lifting and handling equipment,
the company can also provide expertise
through good product knowledge. The
company possesses special qualifications
in wood/plywood, plastic and steel drums.
It can also produce hybrid solutions such
as wood drums with steel core, etc.

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 flame 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 flexibility 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
flammability performance as specified 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 thermoplastic
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 flame 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 fibre data cables.
Flame performance ratings range from
VW-1 (UL-1581) to FT-4 (UL-1685). Service
temperatures range from 75ºC to 105ºC.
