“Compound performance meets application” — this is Melos’ guiding motto for Wire Düsseldorf 2026,capturing the essence of how precisely engineered materials enable reliable and safe cable performance across industries. With one of the broadest and most application-oriented portfolios in the market, Melos provides Mecoline insulation and sheathing compounds alongside FM bedding compounds, forming a comprehensive solution spectrum for modern cable construction.
Across sectors such as Automotive, Green Energy, Installation, Marine/Aerospace/Defense, Offshore & Shipbuilding, and Rolling Stock, Melos compounds deliver targeted performance: mechanical strength, flame retardancy, environmental resistance, and processing reliability. The Mecoline brand stands for high performance formulations ranging from thermoplastic to radiation cross-linkable technologies, while FM bedding compounds ensure optimal geometry and maximum fire safety for cables in the Installation sector.
As we prepare for Wire Düsseldorf 2026, Melos is placing a spotlight on three carefully selected compounds from the Mecoline portfolio:
Mecoline IS RDX 5273 F
A robust, radiation cross-linkable FKM insulation compound for highly demanding environments. It offers exceptional flexibility, strong media and temperature resistance up to 200°C, and reliable flame protection — perfect for automotive and other high‑stress applications.
Mecoline S TP 1050 F
A halogen‑free, flame‑retardant thermoplastic sheathing compound designed for high CPR classes. It ensures excellent flame performance, low smoke emissions, and smooth extrusion, making it a trusted choice for data and low‑voltage cables in safety‑critical installations.
Mecoline S TP 1051 F
Engineered for installation and wind energy cables exposed to cold, movement, and harsh outdoor conditions. With flexibility down to –40°C, LSZH properties, and strong flame retardancy, it is ideal for low‑ and medium‑voltage constructions in renewable and outdoor environments.
Why these Cable Compounds matter for Wire Düsseldorf 2026
Although these three compounds are already established in the Melos portfolio, theirrelevance has never been stronger:
- Regulatory environments demand higher CPR classifications
- Renewable and mobility sectors require flexible, low smoke, halogen-free solutions
- Offshore, marine, and defense applications demand durability and resistance to extreme environments
- Data communication infrastructure needs processing-reliable, flame retardant materials
- Manufacturers increasingly seek proven compounds that reduce development risk and support efficient production
Together, these highlights demonstrate the Melos philosophy: material performance tailored precisely to application requirements.
