Resistance Without Sacrificing Mechanical Properties
The demand for materials with high fire resistance has led to the adoption of compounds such as HFFR (Halogen Free Flame Retardant), especially in cables intended for outdoor environments. Delta Tecnic, Barcelona, Spain, a leader in innovation in masterbatch for cables, has developed a safe and reliable solution for the manufacture of HFFR outer sheaths.
Traditionally, the addition of carbon black to plastic compounds for outdoor cable sheaths has been the solution adopted by the industry when it comes to XLPE, TPU and PVC, to protect the sheath from UV light rays.
