FireCon™ THERMOPLASTIC CPE-A PROCESSING GUIDE General Extrusion Guidelines FireCon™ Thermoplastic CPE-A is a flexible thermoplastic chlorinated polyethylene blend designed for industrial instrumentation, power, and control cables.

Long Fiber Thermoplastics (LFT) for Brackets and Latches Unlock opportunities for cost savings, lightweighting, & production efficiencies Brackets and latches are traditionally made of cast aluminum or stamped steel. Long fiber thermoplastics (LFT) combine the structural integrity of metals with the lighter weight and cost-effectiveness of thermoplastic composites.

Elastomers can’t handle the highest loads and tend to wear out rapidly.
