Yarns
CABLE FILLER YARNS
PP-YARNS
Polypropylenyarns as economic solution for filling up spaces in cables of all kind.
PP yarns are hydrophobic and free of halogens.
- Twisted from fibrillated tapes
- Multiple-ply ropes, 3 or 4 strands
- Optional flame retardant and halogen-free
- As BCF-yarn available (texturized)
- on spools and drums

COTTON-YARNS
Cotton Yarns and Cords will be used commonly as cable filler because of its good thermal properties.
- 0,6 – 16,0 mm twisted Diameters
- 100 % cotton or as cotton-mixed yarn (85 % Cotton/15 % Synthetic)

PAPER-YARNS
Paper Yarns from natron kraftpaper are heat-resistant and will be used as filler-yarns in power cables.
- Diameters
from 0,20 – 10,0 mm - Different yarn
constructions possible

RIPCORDS, BINDERYARNS AND WB- YARNS
POLYESTER + POLYAMIDE
Polyester and Polyamide yarns and threads will be used in many different cable designs as ripcords or binder yarns.
- All types in linear density and yarn constructions
- High tensile strength and excellent cutting properties
- Low until “ultra low” shrinkage (0,5 %) available

ARAMIDE / VECTRAN
Aramide and Vectran yarns offer highest values in tensile strength and are first choice for ripcords which must cut thick-wall- or metallic materials.
- Highest tensile strength and best cutting
properties - From 440 dtex up to 8.050 dtex,
as Roving or twisted (s/z) - Any customer-required constructions
possible - PU-coated or dyed in any color
- optionally waterblocking

WATERBLOCKING YARNS
Waterblocking Yarns will be used in different cable designs for longitudinal watertightness as flat binderyarn or as round and thick filleryarn.
- As flat polyester-multifilament yarn with super absorbent polymers
- As round polyester spun-yarn with swelling fibres
- Low-dust during processing
- Extremely high swelling properties (up to 50times)

STRENGTH MEMBERS
TEXTILE GLASS YARNS
Textile Glass yarns, as EC9 or EC11 Glass, for braiding and armouring,
- 34tex – 300tex

ARAMID BRAIDED CORDS
Braided Cords + Threads from Aramid, as filler + flexible strength members
- 0,5 mm – 8,0 mm
- Soft + flat braiding
or hard + round - braided cord
- optional the yarn can be delivered coated
or waterblocking
