Melos and Inhol present their new product highlights at the trade fair, inspiring visitors from all over the world.

From 4th to 8th of April 2016 Melos presented its products at the Wire Düsseldorf. The highly specialized compounds are used as insulation, sheathing and bedding materials for cables. The main focus of the event were the new product innovations.

Future-oriented products convince the visitors

A huge number of fair visitors came to see the highlights of the product portfolio. They met us on two floors and 50 qm. A major topic were the new CPR regulations. Our team could show our ready-to-use “Firefighter” concept to meet these new regulations and many other international specifications and standards. In this context the products were optimized concerning their fire behavior. The fire behavior of certain compounds was determined by an independent test institute through a standardised ladder fire test. Specialized compounds, such as the new FM 0474/5, achieve particularly good results. During their visits, our visitors were convinced of the improved fire performance. On our booth the fire behavior results were clearly demonstrated and explained by our R&D and sales team.

We introduced one of the best oil-resistant and low temperature flexible thermoplastic compounds, the Mecoline S TP 1030 F, whilst our range of radiation cross-linkable compounds for rapid transit and offshore applications found wide acceptance.

These special cables have to resist extreme weather conditions and temperatures. Therefore, we developed specialised Mecoline UV compounds which meet the requirements of DIN EN ISO 4892-2. Their special feature is resistance against UV radiation. These new products were staged at the Melos booth in vivid showcases.

Interesting conversations in an enjoyable atmosphere

The Melos and Inhol team welcomed several business partners, distributors and agents at their booth at this year’s Wire Düsseldorf. Technical discussions with qualified visitors from all over the world were held in an enjoyable atmosphere. The new products were presented comprehensively. Finally, certain concrete projects could be planned and initiated during these five days. All in all, it was a vibrant event and our expectations were fully met.
