Developing Zero Halogen Wire and Cable TPE for Ebeam in Harsh Environments

A Major Wire and Cable manufacturer was tasked by a client to develop a Non Halogenated TPE wire for high durability and excellent electricals in a chemically harsh environment. The manufacturer was having difficulty maintaining the high physical properties in such a corrosive environment and came to OTECH for a solution.

OTECH’s TPE engineering group worked closely with the cable manufacturer and their client, understanding all the needs, to develop a TPE compound that would withstand this environment while maintaining its excellent properties. The TPE engineering group developed OTE9620-NTXLFR01 which has shown outstanding performance and processability, allowing our customer to rapidly expand their sales of cables in this demanding market segment. Customer is using 250,000 pounds/year.
