Forming reliable connections
For wire and cable applications, we offer several products as raw materials. There are generally two types of telecommunications cables—copper wire and fibre optic. For both of these types we supply materials that serve as filling compounds, which space the conductors, and flooding compounds, which flood the armour layers within the cable. remain flexible at low temperatures.
Synthomer hydrophobic hydrocarbon compounds also provide waterproofing for the interior components of the cable, and can be injected hot during cable manufacture. They also ensure the cable remains flexible, even at low temperatures.

| Foral™ AX-E Fully Hydrogenated Rosin | Rosin Resin | Foral™ AX-E fully hydrogenated gum rosin is a thermoplastic, acidic resin produced by hydrogenating rosin to an exceptionally high degree. It is the palest, most highly stabilized rosin commercially available from Synthomer. Compared with Staybelite™ resin-E partially hydrogenated rosin, a hydrogenated rosin long established and widely used for its pale color and high oxidation resistance, Foral AX-E has better initial color and color retention, and even greater resistance to oxidation. It is especially indicated as the tackifier and resin modifier in solvent adhesives and hot-melt applied coatings and adhesives that must excel in these properties. It is also used in UV cured acrylics to improve adhesion to low surface energy substrates.
