improved flame retardancy properties: LOI (Limiting Oxygen Index) value ≥ 35% reduced die drool or plate out, which is the undesirable accumulation of material on the open face of a die smooth and shiny surface finish improved mechanical properties: Tensile strength at break > 11 N/mm 2 ; Elongation at break > 150% good water and oil resistance Fainplast research and development group is currently working on developing a HFFR compound with the same processability and functionality as HAX HF 200 but with improved thermal resistance. • • • • • ➣➢➣

capstans, spoolers, wire and tube machinery, drawbenches, swaging machines and feed units, impact cut-off machines, tube end forming machines and torin CNC spring coiling machines. The company recognises a growth in the industry for total metal forming solutions, not just a piece of machinery, and in this regard is positioned to offer technical, process and engineering expertise to provide the best solution that fits a company’s needs.

Femutec Engineering GmbH 13 A34

Femutec Engineering GmbH, a provider of software and services in the area of bulk metal forming, will present the new application of the powerful all-in-one solution for bulk metal forming simulation, Simufact.forming 8.1. Simufact.forming 8.1 will come with three highlights: The modified and optimised Windows Graphical User Interface represents the easiest to use solution, which meets perfectly the requirements of the shop floor environment. The high-speed explicit solver technology of MSC.Dytran will complete the standard Finite Element method of MSC.Marc. And this gives amazing simulation speed up for complex cold forgings which can be presented, as well as the latest version of Femutec’s project and data management-system. Project management is a cornerstone of professional and effective process simulation. Femutec Engineering GmbH – Germany Fax : +49 40790 16222

Fil-Tec Inc 9 F09-3

➣➢➣ Fil-Tec’s technology produces a water swellable binder with higher yield, giving lower cost per kilometre of cable produced. It also produces a package that offers: Excellent integrity and balance; can run at 5,000 rpm without unwanted vibration; more metres per package giving longer runs without a break and a more efficient stranding process overall. Fil-Tec Inc offers a complete line of performance yarns for application in power cables, copper and fibre optic telecom and speciality cables. Products on display include: Binder yarns with water blocking, non-wicking, flame retardant/ low smoke finishes; core yarns; ripcords; filler yarns; marker yarns; fibreglass rein- forcement yarns, and the newest product, dry core yarn. Water swellable binder and core (wrap around the FRP) yarns offer the following benefits: Very low dust, extends life of bearings and other moving parts of the equipment; less downtime due to mechanical maintenance related to SAP dust problems; less clean up time; cleaner working environment for the operator.
