APPLICATIONS

Start with the application.
Work back to the material.

The function required in the finished compound provides a useful starting point for material selection.

01 / CABLE COMPOUNDS

From insulation
to the outer jacket.

Cable layers have different requirements. Consider the material in the context of its layer, polymer system and intended function.

LSZH & HFFR compounds

ATH and MDH for halogen-free flame retardancy; Zinc Borate for smoke-suppression and synergistic roles.

Fire retardants

PVC cable insulation

Electrical-grade calcined clay as a functional mineral; Antimony Trioxide as a synergist within appropriate PVC flame-retardant systems.

Industrial minerals

Semiconductive layers

Conductive carbon black for semiconductive layers in power cables.

Conductive carbons

Cable jackets

Carbon black masterbatch for UV-resistant cable jackets; expandable graphite for flame-retardant cable-compound formulations.

Carbon materials for cables

02 / RUBBER & FOOTWEAR

Reinforcing
the formulation.

Silica serves reinforcing and functional roles in rubber and footwear compounds. Selection depends on the formulation and the purpose of the filler.

Rubber compounds

Precipitated silica for reinforcement and functional filler applications.

Precipitated silica

Footwear compounds

Reinforcing and functional silica for rubber and polymer footwear formulations.

Silica for footwear

03 / POLYMERS & INDUSTRY

Function within
the material system.

Minerals and functional additives contribute different roles, from filling and anti-blocking to use as a carrier in additive systems.

Functional mineral fillers

Coated and uncoated calcium carbonate, talc and processed minerals for industrial and polymer formulations.

Mineral portfolio

Anti-blocking & carriers

Functional precipitated silica for anti-blocking and carrier applications.
