Thermoplastic elastomer.This series of 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. compounds is fully RoHS-compliant and meets stringent UL criteria for flame retardance while providing flexibility and toughness over a broad temperature range. The four Telcar TL-1934 compounds are styrenic formulations available with durometer A hardnesses from 56 to 88. They are recommended for insulation, jackets, and molded parts for flexible cords, coil cords and cables in power tools, appliances, industrial robots, welding equipment, and audio and lighting systems. Telcar TL-1934 compounds are said to provide excellent flame resistance while meeting RollS standards by containing no polybrominated diphenyl diphenyl /di·phen·yl/ (di-fen´il) a toxic compound comprising two linked benzene rings, used as a fungistat in containers for shipping citrus fruits. di·phen·yl n. See biphenyl. ether (PBDE PBDE Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether PBDE Pentabromodiphenyl Ether (flame retardant additive in plastics) PBDE Parallel Block-Decodable Encoder ) flame retardant Flame retardants are materials that inhibit or resist the spread of fire. Naturally occurring substances such as asbestos as well as synthetic materials, usually halocarbons such as polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDEs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and chlorendic acid .
