Swellable yarns and swellable cable fillers

We produce & supply swellable yarns to achieve longitudinal water tightness in various types of cables.

Some applications of our
Swelling yarns & swellable cable fillers:

  • Fiber optic cable
  • Power cables
  • Seawater cables
  • Wide area cables
  • Charging cable
  • Signal cable

Good to know:

  • Individuality: Our swellable yarns consist of swellable fibers traditionally spun with one or more reinforcing yarns, of swellable nonwovens or of a composite of different materials individually adapted to you and your cable constructions.
  • With our development ESY-PP you save money! This swelling yarn consists of polypropylene in the core and is wrapped with a highly swelling fleece. We can offer this construction in a non-conductive or semi-conductive version.

Facts:

  • Diameter range: 0.4 mm - 30 mm
  • Large diameters are also available with a semi-conductive layer
  • The swelling properties (water absorption) of our yarns sometimes reach up to 100 times their own weight!
