Coatings and compounds
Teknor Apex Company supplies the full range of PVC compounds for wire and cable, as do its subsidiaries, Singapore
Polymer Corporation (SPC) and Teknor Apex (Suzhou) Advanced Polymer Compounds Co Pte Ltd. All products are non-lead
stabilised, with no compromise in cost-performance.
Apex • ® compounds make up the company’s broadest and most widely used range of wire and cable products. Teknor
Apex offers more than 200 standard Apex products and maintains a database of over 14,000 Apex formulations
Fireguard • ® low-flame, low-smoke compounds meet and exceed all applicable UL requirements pertaining to applications
in copper and fibre optic plenum cables used in commercial buildings
Flexalloy • ® vinyl elastomers provide rugged performance under aggressive environmental conditions. With a brittle point
of –50ºC and a high temperature rating of +105ºC, Flexalloy compounds stay flexible, withstanding extreme cold, searing
heat or wet environments without cracking, softening, or compromising the integrity of the cable
The new Teknor Apex plant in Suzhou, China has begun
production of Apex® PVC compounds. In addition, Fireguard®
compounds for plenum cables can be stocked at Suzhou for
local availability. Asian customers outside China can continue
to source Apex, Fireguard, and Flexalloy wire and cable
compounds from SPC.
Technology transfer to both SPC and Teknor Apex Suzhou
has made possible local production of compounds that
precisely duplicate those manufactured by Teknor Apex in the
US. These products already meet key regulatory codes and
industry standards specified in the US, Canada, Europe, and
Japan for intended applications.
