Manufacturing cables is an intricate process that depends on every detail to ensure longevity and efficiency. For over 50 years, Guelph Twines has been providing the North American electrical cable industry with high-quality paper and polypropylene cable fillers.
Let’s explore the role of paper cable fillers in the cable industry, highlighting their benefits and applications and the flame-retardant options available.
Why Do Cables Need Fillers?
Cable construction goes beyond conductors. Fillers play an essential role by:
- Increasing Cable Longevity: Fillers contribute to the structural integrity of cables, ensuring that they can withstand environmental stresses for a long time.
- Resistance to high temperatures: They provide insulation against high temperatures, protecting the cable’s core.
- Uniformity and Support: Fillers occupy vacant spaces within wires, thus preventing movement that could lead to wear and tear.
The Advantages of Paper Cable Fillers
1. Ease of Handling. One of the standout features of twisted paper fillers from Guelph Twines is their ease of use during manufacturing. Cable paper fillers are also preferred for high-temperature applications.
2. Material Versatility. Whether you’re dealing with standard or flame-retardant applications, our cable fillers offer flexibility with options in both paper and polypropylene. This versatility allows manufacturers to select the most suitable material for their requirements.
3. Custom Sizes and Fast Shipping. Understanding the urgency of the cable industry, Guelph Twines keeps a range of standard sizes in stock for quick dispatch. Additionally, we can cater to custom specifications within a two-week lead time, ensuring minimal disruption to your production schedule.
4. Flame-Retardant Safety. Safety is paramount, and our flame-retardant fillers undergo rigorous ASTM D 2863 testing by a third party to ensure compliance with cable industry standards. Our products offer peace of mind in fire-prone environments by not exceeding the minimum oxygen concentration needed for combustion (OI levels).
