High-performance materials that meet the demands of stringent building regulations

Cables for industries and buildings have to comply with stringent safety and environmental regulations, while also remaining cost-effective. To meet this need, we offer low voltage (LV) cabling based on our Visico™/Ambicat™ technology. This moisture-cured cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) solution offers higher productivity and output than alternatives, and also uses an environmentally friendly organic acid as its active substance as opposed to harmful tin-organic additives.

We also offer a unique halogen-free, flame-retardant system in the form of Casico™ jackets. Around 20% lighter than alternative plastics, this product exhibits reduced heat release and smoke generation, meaning no corrosive gas emissions are produced, reducing secondary fire damage to equipment and installations. Cross-linked Visico/Casico compounds offer downsizing potential of up to 40%, boast superior dielectric properties, and represent a cost-effective insulation solution compared to polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Benefits of Our Polyolefin Materials

  • Visico/Ambicat: Reduced processing complexity leads to lower levels of scrap, higher output, and faster production cycles. In addition, significantly faster cross-linking facilitates the curing of the insulation at room temperature or in ambient conditions without the use of a water baths or saunas, saving energy and money,
  • Visico/Casico: Materials that can be processed on most existing PVC and PE extrusion equipment, reducing costs and complexity. This innovative solution also supports you to meet your sustainability goals through delivering outstanding performance with reduced and lighter materials.
