New flame-retardant halogen-free cable compound solutions

摘要

LARGE-SCALE production of flame-retardant XLPE insulated cables requires a cost-effective and reliable material solution. In addition to this there is an increase in demand for safe halogen-free cable solutions which are effective in preventing the spread of a fire as well as reduced levels of toxic smoke. The major challenges for cable producers today are processing efficiency and short shelf life of existing solutions. Borealis and Borouge's new Visico~(TM) FR compound solutions overcome these challenges and make the flame-retardant cable production much easier and simpler.
