Application-led compound development
Filled systems require careful alignment of carrier polymer, filler characteristics and compounding conditions. We provide formulation-focused guidance for filler masterbatches and aluminium composite panel core concepts, with performance requirements defined at the appropriate material and product level.
Technical focus areas
- Carrier polymer and filler morphology selection
- Surface treatment, dispersion and interfacial compatibility
- Rheology, feeding and compounding behaviour
- Product-specific mechanical and fire-performance evaluation
From formulation brief to validation plan
Begin with the intended cable layer, construction and operating environment. Define the target properties and relevant test methods before comparing formulations. Review compound behaviour under representative extrusion and, where applicable, crosslinking conditions.
Material screening, production trials and finished-cable qualification provide complementary evidence. The applicable specification and acceptance criteria should be agreed for the specific project.
