Condor Compounds invests in expanding LSFOH capacity in Europe

Condor Compounds announced investment in a new 150 mm 20d co-kneader line to manufacture Conlink crosslinkable halogen free and flame retardant cable insulation and sheathing compounds as well as Conguard thermoplastic LSFOH compliant compounds. The new manufacturing line is installed at Condor Compounds existing wire+cable compounds facility in Braunschweig, Germany.

The line adds about another 5000t to the company’s capacities of Conguard LSFOH compliant compounds as well as opening the door for further growth in a number of segments including PP, thermoplastic elastomer compounds, silane or e-beam cross-linked systems or peroxide crosslinked rubber compounds. The Conguard compounds are well-suited for extrusion applications such as wire, cable and conduit.

Strategically located in Central Europe, from March 2013 Condor Compounds is running five co- kneader lines, two internal mixers Banbury-type, one with tangential rotor system, and one with intermeshing rotor system, and one twin screw extrusion line with a total capacity of about 50.000 t/y depending on portfolio.
