PDMS/Silica is an additive that enhances the processing, performance, and safety of your HFFR cable compounds. It addresses critical challenges, like die drool, poor flow, and suboptimal mechanical properties. And it improves fire performance through reduced peak heat release rates (PHRR), stable char, and lower smoke emissions.
We’ll explore PDMS/Silica for the wire & cable industry and share tips to adapt your production process.
Take away actionable insights to:
- Compare PDMS/Silica to its alternatives
- Optimise your production process
