Cables & Wires Success Case

Optimize production costs

High volume resistance in PVC requires minimizing mobile ions and ionizable materials

Metakaolin Role: minimal ionizable impurities that could decrease volume

Comparable to control clay

• Without modifying production set-up

Improved mixing times

• find the right formulation and trial setup

• High brightness hydrous kaolin combined with MgOH in halogen-free flame retardant signal cables

  
  

ElastoMyn MK

is a dehydroxylated, high-performance metakaolin engineered for enhanced chemical efficiency and reactivity

• Provide EPDM mechanical rigidity through fine particle rubber reinforcement

• Enhance abrasion resistance through fine & platy particles stopping crack propagation in rubber

• Improve electrical resistivity

• Silane treatment for high hydrophobicity to prevent water absorption and thus treeing and cable warming

Demonstrating ElastoMyn value

• Without modifying customer production set-up

Adjust to customer’s production set-up

• Find the right formulation and trial setup

On-site co-operation

• Daily support from lab trial to commercialisation to optimise recipe

ElastoMyn TX70 and TX 70  ST are a high-performance calcined kaolin solution used in the Medium and high-voltage cable insulation polymer compounds for wire and cable insulation and jacketing

Optimize production costs

• Used as a functional filler: Kaolin gives low compression set (better sealing)

• Better thermal & chemical resistance

• Superior extrusion properties
