In recent years, silicone has been used especially in the white good sector, but now it is being found in more and more applications.
Due to its various positive attributes, silicone is a very popular material for cable production and has also played a major role in the continuous development of lines.
Rosendahl developed the first silicone extrusion line with infrared curing 4 years ago. In the meantime, several new lines have been installed worldwide and also existing lines were able to be expanded by updates from Rosendahl. The special matching extruders, crossheads and curing tunnels make effective and reproducible results from one provider possible. On the automotive cable market, silicone has established itself as an ideal isolation and jacketing material for cables and high-voltage cables for electro and hybrid cars. The continuous operating temperature of 200°C and the high flexibility of this material do not change, even at various temperatures.
In addition to the automotive sector, there are also several other popular applications for silicone, for example in medical technology or robotics. Since the fire resistance of cables in public buildings, such as airports or hospitals, is subject to particularly strict guidelines, Rosendahl focused on developing production facilities for this field. The standards that need to be fulfilled for integrity DIN 4102-12 and insulation IEC60331, EN50200 and BS6387 are fulfilled by every by Rosendahl produced cable.
