Opta New Materials participated in Wire China 2026, held from September 21 to 24, 2026, at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre in Shanghai, China. As a manufacturer of high-performance wire and cable compounds, Opta took this opportunity to showcase its material solutions, exchange industry insights, and explore new opportunities for cooperation with wire and cable manufacturers worldwide.
Comprehensive Cable Compound Solutions
Opta New Materials provides a range of polymer compounds designed for diverse wire and cable applications. Our product portfolio covers low-smoke, halogen-free materials, crosslinkable polyolefin compounds, and specialized cable sheathing materials.
LSZH and HFFR Cable Compounds
Our Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) and Halogen-Free Flame Retardant (HFFR) compounds are designed for applications requiring flame retardancy, reduced smoke generation, and halogen-free formulations. Depending on the grade and applicable specifications, these materials can be used in power cables, control cables, communication cables, and building wires.
XLPO and Irradiation-Crosslinkable Compounds
Our crosslinkable polyolefin compounds serve wire and cable applications requiring specific thermal, mechanical, and electrical performance. Depending on the product grade, potential applications include UL-style wires, appliance wiring, automotive low-voltage wires, and other specialized cables.
SHF2 Marine Cable Sheathing Compounds
SHF2 compounds are used in marine and offshore cable sheathing applications where the relevant cable specifications require this material classification. Selection should be based on the applicable standards, testing requirements, and product-specific technical documentation.
PE and HDPE Cable Sheathing Compounds
Opta also offers polyethylene-based cable compounds, including black HDPE sheathing compounds, for suitable cable protection and sheathing applications.
TPE and Specialized Cable Materials
Our product portfolio also includes TPE compounds and other specialized polymer materials for selected wire and cable applications requiring specific flexibility, processing characteristics, and performance properties.
Engaging with the Global Wire and Cable Industry
Wire China 2026 provided a valuable opportunity for Opta New Materials to connect with industry professionals, exchange ideas on evolving cable material requirements, and explore potential business cooperation.
As wire and cable applications continue to diversify, selecting the right compound is essential to achieving the required performance, processability, and compliance with applicable standards. Opta works with customers to identify suitable materials according to their cable constructions, processing conditions, end-use applications, and technical specifications.
Our commitment is to provide reliable cable material solutions that support the changing needs of wire and cable manufacturers across different industries and markets.
