Application Details
  • Cable insulations for household, automotive, railway, marine and aerospace applications where high flame retardancy is required.
  • The raw rubber requires the addition of peroxides for vulcanization at elevated temperatures. A homogeneous incorporation is a must, but please avoid temperatures >30°C along the incorporation process in order to maintain best processing behavior. Pot life is depending on the used peroxide and storage condition.
