Master Batches for value addition produced indigenous by ASAS CABLES and supplied to major Electrical Cable Manufacturers in Pakistan since year 1998
Anti Rodent Master Batches
Rodents are animals that gnaw the cable insulation or jacket and major species are squirrels rats, mu-rids and nutria .This renders the conductor bare and results in short circuiting and consequently fire. This leads to colossal loss of life and property. Anti rodents modify the PVC and other engineering resins in such a way that the rodents can not bite the cable continuously and thus cannot bare the conductor averting the short circuiting as a result. Cost wise the ingredients are easily available in most markets of the world and as the quantity added is small the addition of the cost to the resin formulation is low. On the other hand the value addition is pronounced resulting in elevation of the sale price. The additives after incorporation in formulation are hazard free. We have supplied the master batches to major cable producers in Pakistan. There has not been a single complaint regarding the efficacy of the rodent resistant cable.
The efficiency of the master batches has been factually tested by exposing the modified and control cables to mice from kitchens and it was found out that the modified cable was not harmed in any serious manner whereas the control cable had been rendered bare by the rodents.
Master batches For Production of Flame Retardant PVC, PP PE or PU based Cable Low Smoke Cable
The cables are vulnerable to catch flame on elevated heating or melting leading to short circuiting resulting in most fires in homes or industry. These cause colossal damage to life and property. Flame retardant cable do catch fire but the flame extinguishes within 10 seconds or even in shorter time. The fire or flame does not propagate. The flame retardant master batches ingredients are readily available in most markets in developing world and level of addition for PVC compounds is quite low .For PE PP or PU based cables not containing any halogen require addition of larger quantities .The different tests conducted internationally comprise limiting oxygen index LOI and underwriters laboratory (UL)tests
. More people die of asphyxia because of exposure to carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide emitted by PVC on incineration. Cables generating low smoke can be produced using appropriate master batches.
ANTI TERMITE MASTERBATCHES
Termites also consume the outer jacket of cables and like rodents render cables bare leading to short circuiting and fire. Master batches can be produced using readily available ingredients and are hazard free. Value addition in price of the modified cable is considerable whereas due to the low level of addition of ingredients the addition to the cost of the resin is very low. For resins not containing a halogen such as PE, PU PP based cables Formulation is different and can be supplied readily. Quantities used are higher than in case of PVC.
HIGH SPECIALTY CABLES INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION HIGH TEMPERATURE PVC Cable
PVC softens on attaining 70 C and can in heated areas such as proximity of engine in automotive and aeronautics lead to short circuiting and fire. By replacement of certain ingredients high temperature PVC can be produced. Value addition can allow increase in price of the cable whereas the modification costs a lot less.
RADIATION RESISTANT LOW VOLTAGE FLEXIBLE MULTI CORE POWER CABLES FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS AND HIGH RADIATION AREAS
In nuclear power plants and establishments having high radiation areas, cables installed must possess a high radiation tolerance , exhibit flame resistant character and in particular class 1E cables require a list of exhaustive tests for validation and qualification. These cables must be based on halogen free low smoke resin. These wires were indigenous produced by us and since year 2018 have been supplied to various institutes of Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission.
In view of the superior quality of our products as compared to international manufacturers ,as tested by CERN (laboratory in Geneva ), they engaged the CEO of the ASAS cable Dr SHAMSHAD AHMED as consultant for monitoring the quality of installed cables and to set guidelines to purchase essentially qualifying cables.
PRODUCTION OF HIGHLY SPECIALISED NON MIGRATORY COAXIAL CABLES NAMELY,RG 213C/U,RG 58 C/U,RG 59 B/U,URMPVC 76
As we are specialized in production of highly selective cables we have been producing now the non migratory PVC based coaxial cables entitled above and meeting the entire demand of the buyer, PAEC. Supply of cables ensued in year 2021 and is currently underway. Of interest is production of non migratory PVC jacket which hinders the disintegration of the cable jacket .The technology can be transferred with the complete quality control of the wires including multi furious tests of electrical ,attenuation tests and the mechanical parameters in conformity with the international standards.
Technology transfer by CEO ASAS cables to Malaysia, IRAN and Switzerland

CONSULTANT HIRED BY MOSTI (Malaysia) FUNDED BY BRAIN GAIN PROJECT( Two Months ,YEAR 2010).
Radiation cross linked flame retardant PE, PVC/PU cables and wires technology was transferred to Wonder cables, Malaysia via research and development carried out at MINT, BANGI MALAYSIA..
Transfer of radiation cross linked cables to Yard Cables, YAZD (Five Expert missions Year 2001 to year 2005)
As IAEA expert as endeavor of peaceful applications of radiation ,transferred technology of radiation cross linked cables to Yazd Cables via Yazd Radiation Processing Centre located in YAZD, Iran
Consultancy for CERN, (GENEVA) in quality control of radiation resistant cables installed at CERN
As Consultant (year 2019 to date) transferred the technology of quality control of radiation resistant cables for evaluation of the extent of damage to the installed cables at CERN , the highly prestigious laboratory at GENEVA , Switzerland., Identified strategies for ensuring to purchase only qualifying cables for the future installation. A school comprising 10 trained researchers has been established at HSE at CERN under guidance of the consultant, DR SHAMSHAD AHMED.
