SABIC FLEX NORYL™ Resin WCD891A Polyphenylene Ether + TPE (PPE+TPE) (Asia)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Elastomer, TPE; Polyphenylene Ether/PPO

Material Notes: FLEX NORYL™ WCD891A resin is a flexible, non-reinforced extrudable blend of Polyphenylene Ether (PPE) + Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE). This material contains non-halogenated flame retardant and performance capable of meeting UL VW-1 requirements, 80C end use temperature rating, and heat deformation performance as defined by UL 1581. FLEX NORYL WCD891A resin is intended for evaluation in wire insulation and cable jacket applications in dark colors. It has a Shore A Hardness reading of 89 and exhibits superior thermal stability, very low water absorption, good electric properties, and low specific gravity. Processing is typically conducted on standard extrusion equipment, and UL 1581 testing is conducted on 2.0mm wire with 0.12mm X 20 stranded copper conductor.

Features: Flexible,Low Creep Sensitivity,Flame Retardant,Thin Wall,Non-Halogenated,Non-Chlorinated,Non-Brominated,Good Processability,Ductile
