AEI Compounds Limited, UK, a
supplier of polymer compounds for the
international wire and cable industry,
has launched its newly developed
silane crosslinkable, oil resistant,
halogen-free flame retardant (HFFR)
compound.
SX0620 is a highly flexible, low smoke
and fume sheathing compound for use
in offshore, shipboard, industrial and
railway cabling systems.
It has been developed to meet the
requirements of IEC 92-359 SHF2 and
EN50264 EM104, ship and railway
standards, and answers a need for
safe, low-smoke and fume cable
sheathing material.
In demanding environments such as
those in shipboard and offshore (OPG)
marine installations, its zero halogen
content and fire retardant properties
contribute to crew and passenger
safety.
Paired with SX0612 or SX559
insulated conductors, SX0620
sheathed cables meet the highest fire
retardant and oil resistance
performance requirements while
exhibiting rubber like flexibility and
excellent cable surface finish.
SX0620 is also suitable for use in
heavy industrial applications and
hostile environments where abrasion
resistance is required.
