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.
