Polymers selected for wire and cable (W&C) coating via extrusion are chosen for their:
Flexibility
Electrical insulation capabilities
Flame retardance
Abrasion resistance
Longevity
Common polymers used in W&C coatings include:
Polyethylene (PE)
Polyvinylchloride (PVC)
Polyamide (PA)
Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT)
Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE)
Ethylene propylene copolymers (EPC)
Polypropylene (PP)
Fluoropolymers (FP)
These materials are favored in wire and cable applications for their robust properties, ensuring performance and safety in a variety of uses.
