Aurora Plastics Wire & Cable Compound Selection Guide
Transcript of Aurora Plastics Wire & Cable Compound Selection Guide
Does your application require high-heat resistance, exposure to extreme cold weather, or unique cable constructions with demanding performance criteria? Whatever challenges your wire and cable application will bring, look to Aurora Plastics for a proven solution. Our expertise in thermoplastics allows us to offer a variety of polymers with performance characteristics you need, backed by the service and delivery you demand.
❯ AuroraGuard™ PVC: Provides high-thermal and low-temperature brittleness properties making it ideal for many different kinds of wire applications including; appliance, automotive, energy storage, flexible cords and coaxial cables. Our TPO product line offers lower smoke and toxicity, and halogen-free technology for fiber optic, alarm and data cables.
❯ AuroraFlex™ Features a full line of flexible PVC, PVC/Nitriles, custom TPOs, TPEs, CPEs, SBSs and SEBSs, with a variety of physical properties required for demanding applications. We use different and complex chemistries to create the right formulation, considering factors that include color, UV resistance, durometer requirements, chemical resistance, low-temperature-brittleness performance and compound additives that promote elasticity. Many of these characteristics impart the high-performance properties needed for long-lasting durability and cable performance, while maintaining ease of processing. These materials have many of
the same properties as vulcanized rubber, but can be molded and extruded using conventional thermoplastic process equipment.
Need a unique blend of properties, colors or environmentally friendly solutions? Our engineers can work with you to create a custom formulation — just ask.
