Polymer cable rods, submarine cables, umbilicals and power cables for offshore

Primo produces tailored and tested polymer profiles for insulation and protection of submarine cables, umbilicals, cable rods, DEH cables and power cables.

We have a dedicated plant with state of the art production lines for the offshore market. Primo can provide a flexible production with high capacity, which means that we have the ability to produce complex and high volume products in an efficient way. Decades of work with major players in the offshore industry has provided us the insight and innovation to take your next project to the next level.

DEH & Power cables AC System

Cost-effective shaped fillers for power cables provide optimum protection of electrical conductors and fibre optic cables.

We provide some of the world’s largest suppliers of DEH cable systems with protection covers.

Shaped plastic fillers for offshore power cables offer advantages such as improved cable stability, easier installation, cost-effectiveness, and customizability.

The use of shaped plastic fillers is one the critical elements to improve the stability and rigidity of the cable structure. It helps maintain the cable's shape and prevents deformation or collapse under external pressure, ensuring consistent performance over the cable's lifespan.

Customised plastic profiles for optimum protection and cost-effective solutions

Thermoplastic cable products are a durable solution developed in close partnership with the customer and based on many years of expertise in submarine cabling.

Primo has unique expertise and experience in the design of custom profiled fillers. Our technology has been developed over years and we develop profiles with high functionality like co-and post extrusion, coating and semi-conductive materials.

An important part of our service is documentation, colormarking and technical consultancy. 

At Primo Offshore, we are constantly developing and improving existing submarine insulation and fiber rods, and we have been doing so for years. This means that you will get solid guidance and information on plastic rods and how to practically apply them. Recent technological breakthroughs have made it viable to enforce offshore cables with plastic.

Traditionally steel has been used to enforce subsea cables, but plastic fibers instead of steel have a number of advantages. Steel is a durable and strong material, but the weight of steel can adversely impact the complicated process of sinking cables. Moreover, plastic fiber enforced rods are lighter and cheaper to produce. The lighter design means that more cable can be handled in the same proces. At the same time, durability is not compromised.

We use a wide range of plastic material types for submarine cabling, including PP, HDPE, TPE, SLPE and PVC. We choose the specific material for the specific project, based on your input and requirements for properties. 

The various types of plastics all have different structures that determine their properties, like rigid or soft, flexible, and so on. These characteristics, and their combinations, are limited only by the imagination.
