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

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.

❍ Industrial robot cable

îî 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. generate low smoke, while processing on extruders designed for PVC/PE and exhibiting a good balance of mechanical properties.

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. Svensson Group – Sweden Fax : +46 034 656 909 Email : info@svenssongroup.se Website : www.svenssongroup.se ❍ The company’s stand at a previous exhibition 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 Teknor Apex Stand: 09/F05-03
