SOLVAY SPECIALTY POLYMERS
Three halogen free compound grades introduced / Wire and cable applications in oil and gas, automotive and E&E industries
Three grades have been added to the “Cogegum” range of silane grafted, polyolefin-based, cross-linkable and halogen-free flame retardant compounds for wire and cable applications from Solvay Specialty Polymers (Alpharetta, Georgia / USA; www.solvayspecialtypolymers.com).

“Cogegum” GFR 903 is a sheathing grade targeted at special cables in oil and gas, offshore installations and the chemical industry. The compound provides high flame retardancy, a low calorific potential and intumescent char forming, the company said.

GFR 1401 is an insulation grade designed to meet major automotive standards including engine compartment cables that require heat resistance of up to 125 °C. It features improved abrasion resistance in thin-wall applications.

An insulation/sheathing grade for demanding electrical and electronics cables with working temperatures from -40 °C to +105 °C, GFR 1301 provides flame retardancy rated to UL standards.
