Thermoplastic elastomer.An Elexar thermoplastic elastomer Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), sometimes referred to as thermoplastic rubbers, are a class of copolymers or a physical mix of polymers (usually a plastic and a rubber) which consist of materials with both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties. (TPE TPE Thermoplastic Elastomer TPE Terminal de Paiement Electronique (French) TPE Total Power Exchange TPE Twisted Pair Ethernet TPE Tampines Expressway (Singapore) TPE Therapeutic Plasma Exchange ) compound is said to meet stringent UL criteria for flame retardancy, while providing the rubber-like flexibility and toughness required over a wide temperature range for flexible cord and industrial cable. The RoHS-compliant Elexar EL-1392B styrenic block copolymer copolymer: see polymer. TPE compound can be used in insulation, jacketing, and molded plugs and connectors. It is said to meet flame test flame test, test used in the identification of certain metals. It is based on the observation that light emitted by any element gives a unique spectrum when passed through a spectroscope. requirements specified in UL 94 V-0 for thicknesses of 0.06" (1.5 mm), passes the VW-1 vertical flame test per Method 1080 per UL 1581 as both insulation and jacket, has an oxygen index of 28%, and is said to exhibit no dripping when burned. The compound has a UL 1581 continuous use rating of 105[degrees]C. Wires with both insulation and jacketing made of Elexar EL-1392B are said to have passed seven-day oil-resistance tests at 60[degrees]C, according to the company. (Teknor Apex) www.teknorapex.com |
