DENVER, PA, August 16, 2007--Sylvin Technologies Inc., a custom vinyl compound manufacturer has received approval from Canadian Standards Association International for its line of 105°C lead free, RoHS compliant vinyl compounds designed for Flexible Cords and Cables. The CSA approval is a first for the company and strengthens a strategic goal of placing more focus on wire and cable products.

Sylvin’s newly approved 105°C vinyl insulation and jacketing compounds received recognition under CSA Class 7999-01 Polymeric Raw Materials for Wire and Cable Compounds. Four compounds were approved by CSA—Sylvin 5170-85 and 5175-92 for wire insulation and 6168-80 and 6185-80 for wire jacketing. Each of the four compounds received approval for 105°C SJTOOW with -40°C low temperature approvals.

The new Sylvin vinyl compound approvals now allow electrical wire and cable manufacturer’s flexibility in choosing the materials they use for the North American market.
