Additives Essential For Manufacturing Frls Cables

Electric cables are one of the biggest areas of consumption for plastics as various

polymers are used either as dielectrics or mechanical shielding for cables.

However, most modern houses generally use a variant of cables for household wiring. FRLS or fire resistant low smoke cables are gaining popularity as these cables don't catch fire easily, effectively preventing the hazard of electric fire in homes.

Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) is one of the most widely used plastic polymers for manufacturing electric wiring and fire resistant cables.

As a material, PVC is tough and when exposed to fire, it releases HCl fumes. The chlorine in the fumes traps free radicals, extinguishing the fire. This property makes it very suitable for manufacturing fire resistant cables. That it is recyclable also adds to PVC's utility.

First and foremost, recycled polymers invariably have poorer physical properties compared to the virgin polymers.

Second, the polymer and filler, or even polymers from two different sources do not meld with each other easily.

This forces the manufacturers to try out various additives in order to maintain their products' quality despite the increased filler loading in their products but the results often fall short of the expectations.

CableAid is a high quality additive developed by Vin Industries for safeguarding the physical properties of PVC used in cables.

According to the manufacturers, this additive for cable manufacturing is specially developed to ensure maximum homogeneous dispersion of various constituents of vinyl formulations, improving the consistency, flow rate and productivity.

According to product experts at Vin, a small dosage of additive is enough to increase the output by as much as 20 percent.

Besides this, the additive has a desiccant action and removes moisture related surface defects from the end products.

The experts add that the myriad benefits offered by CableAid have made the additive very popular among the FRLS cable manufacturers using PVC, and its customer base is bound to increase with time.
