Cables and Wires
Plasticised PVC has been used to produce cable and wire insulation and sheathing for more than 50 years. It is still enjoying a healthy worldwide market share of the electrical insulation materials currently in use.
Development and use of stabiliser systems are determined by a number of factors, including technical, ecological and political interests and, not least, emotional forces. During a transitional period of time three different systems are currently used at the same time: Lead, Barium/Zinc, Calcium/Zinc. They compete with each other in terms of stabilising costs, performance and processing properties. In addition, ecological considerations and statutory requirements on national and European levels become increasingly important.
PVC additives from Baerlocher group of companies allow cables and wires of high quality to be made efficiently, imparting to the finished products specific performance characteristics, such as good heat stability. Baerlocher develops tailor-made products to suit the needs of each individual customer and manufacture them at one of the worldwide production sites. Special emphasis is always placed on customer focus and consistent quality. We offer a full range of stabilisers, from proven Lead stabilisers to the meanwhile generally accepted Calcium/Zinc stabilisers.
All stabiliser types are available in various supply forms ranging from powders to one-packs in granule form.
