The continuous search for advanced materials in cable manufacturing has led Melos to an innovation: the halogen-free flame-retardant compound Mecoline S TP 1045 F. In addition to its flame-retardant properties, the compound is claimed to set new standards in terms of resistance to cracking in changing ambient temperatures.
Mecoline S TP 1045 F has a high tear propagation resistance, especially at temperatures of up to 60°C. The ability to maintain its structural integrity even at fluctuating temperatures is necessary for the reliable, long-term performance of low- and medium-voltage cables, particularly in demanding industrial and technological applications.
The new formulation of Mecoline S TP 1045 F helps to prevent environmentally induced stress cracking in armoured low- and medium-voltage power cables, avoiding cable damage and power interruptions — a common problem, especially for cables that are installed live or underground.
With high tear resistance and elongation at break at temperatures from -45 to 90°C, Mecoline S TP 1045 F is suitable as a sheath material in armoured cables to prevent environmentally induced stress cracking. The new formulation fulfils all specifications of the BS 7655-6.1:1997 standard, including the most stringent LTS1 classification, even for complex designs and armoured cables.
Melos also offers Mecoline S TP 1045 F in a UV-protected version, extending the compound's application possibilities in environments with intense UV radiation.
