For the production of water-swellable cable components, CABLOC
® offers new, liquid, solvent-free, crosslinkable polyacrylates (SAP) as well as traditional crosslinked superabsorbent powders. CABLOC
® polymers cover all technical and economic demands of the rapid and progressive developments in the cable industry:
- swellable coating in liquid form onto non-wovens, wovens, foils and yarns
- directly in powder form onto shielding / core area or in the conductor area of a cable
- incorporated in powder form into non-woven
- incorporated in powder form into filling/flooding compounds
- incorporated in powder form into hot melt
Processing
CABLOC
® polymers can be incorporated into and on various substrates via fluidized bed, electrostatic, or vibratory methods. Liquid versions can be applied via spray, roll, curtain or dip-coating techniques.
