PW Hall Ltd – UK Fax : +44 141 776 2382 Email : dir@pwhall.co.uk Website : www.pwhall.co.uk Finding compounds online The Xiameter brand has launched a series of standard high-consistency rubber (HCR) compounds for customers in North America and Europe, allowing users to buy standard HCR compounds for high-voltage insulation, wire and cable applications without added customisation costs and product development delays. Shelley Bausch, Xiameter vice president and executive director explained: “Most compounds on the market today are highly customised, so we’ve decided to offer a set product line of standard HCR compounds so that customers can choose the preform, durometer range, cure system, and standard colour they need.” An online selector guide has been developed by the Xiameter team, to help compound customers identify the exact compound needed for a specific application. Customers get the HCR compound at market-based prices, delivered where and when they need it. Dow Corning Corp – USA Website : www.xiameter.com
