HUNTSMAN TO LAUNCH NEW FLAME RETARDANT TPUs AT WIRE 2018 AND SET NEW STANDARD FOR CONNECTION PROTECTION

听

Osnabr眉ck, Germany - Delivering a major breakthrough in the physical and mechanical performance of flame retardant (FR) cabling materials, 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 has developed IROGRAN庐 FR TPU - a unique family of halogen-free, flame retardant (HFFR) cable jacketing materials that can outperform benchmark products when it comes to strength, durability, and environmental performance.听

Providing substantially improved reaction to fire properties alongside unprecedented strength and fatigue resistance in both flexion and torsion, 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站鈥檚 IROGRAN庐 FR TPU grades set a new standard for flame retardant cable protection. Due for launch at Wire 2018 in Dusseldorf in mid April, 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站鈥檚 IROGRAN庐 FR TPU range initially includes three new products:
鈥⑻齀ROGRAN庐 A 90 P 5014 FR TPU - a baseline material for the most common FR applications
鈥⑻齀ROGRAN庐 A 91 P 5015 FR TPU - suitable for more demanding FR applications
鈥⑻齀ROGRAN庐 A 92 P 5016 FR TPU - a flagship grade for the most demanding FR applications.

Made using novel formulation and production processes, 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站鈥檚 IROGRAN庐 FR TPU products have passed rigorous industry and in-house tests and have been trialed by leading wire and cable producers. Test results showed that:
鈥⑻齀ROGRAN庐 A 90 P 5014 FR TPU performs better over time than benchmark products when it comes to heat resistance. After seven days of heat exposure, this novel HFFR material will typically retain 80% of its original tensile strength. That鈥檚 up to 14% better than competitive materials tested under identical conditions.
鈥⑻齌he initial tensile strength of IROGRAN庐 A 92 P 5016 FR TPU is significantly higher than benchmark cable jacketing materials with the material performing better over time when it comes to oil resistance. When exposed to oil at 100掳C over 42 days, IROGRAN庐 A 92 P 5016 FR TPU samples were up to 45% stronger than comparable products put through the same process.

乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站鈥檚 IROGRAN庐 FR TPU products are designed for use in automation, transportation, energy and consumer electronics applications, where flame retardancy is essential, and the physical failure of wire and cable jacketing systems is not an option. Non-halogenated, plasticizer-free and fully recyclable, the new materials also offer:
鈥⑻鼳dvanced abrasion, fatigue and stain resistance
鈥⑻鼸xcellent environmental resilience to chemicals, water, oil and solvents
鈥⑻鼳 wide processing window
鈥⑻鼵onsistent dimensional stability
鈥⑻齈leasant haptics with a matt finish for easy uncoiling.

Franz Michel, Sales Development Manager TPU EAIME at 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站, said: 鈥淎dding flame-retardants to wire and cable materials will typically influence elongation at break and strength, as well as abrasion and fatigue resistance. Our IROGRAN庐 FR TPU products are different. With a state-of-the-art reaction to fire, they offer significantly improved oil and heat resistance to competitive materials. These are incredibly valuable properties in an increasingly automated world, which demands more from wire and cable products.鈥�
