Wire and Cable
Kraton® polymers have been used for various wire and cable products. Kraton G polymers can be formulated for use in flexible cords, industrial cords, automotive primary wire, control wire, booster cables, welding cables, molded plugs and connectors. Kraton D polymers are cost-effective solutions for less demanding applications. Kraton FG polymers can be used to enhance compatibility between flame retardant fillers and the polymer matrix.
Compounds based on Kraton G polymers offer wire and cable designers, application engineers and processors a combination of high-performance benefits:
- Excellent tensile strength and elongation
- Oil and abrasion resistance
- Cold temperature strength and impact resistance
- Rubber-like feel and appearance
- Lightweight
- Excellent colorability
- Good weatherability
- Good thermal aging
- Resistance to most acids and bases
- Flame retardant to V-0 rating
Please contact Kraton Polymers for the most recent technology development in non-halogen, low smoke flame retarded applications.
