Colorants & Additives for Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU)
Wire & Cable Applications
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) has excellent
mechanical performance, chemical and abrasion
resistance.
Avient Additives for Wire & Cable
• Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives: Flame-
retardant additives that add or improve flame
resistance.
The inclusion of these additives
can help a cable to pass flame resistance tests,
even if the resin originally used is not flame
retardant
• Cesa™ Light Additives: UV light stabilizers that
improve weather resistance and provide long
term protection against weather degradation
• Semi-conductive TPU formulations to
enhance cable performance
• Cesa™ Laser Additives: Includes laser-marking
additives for durable cable marking.

It must also have the required heat
resistance, be strong enough to maintain a tight electrical
connection and be flexible enough to allow a snap fit
Working closely with the
manufacturer’s engineers, Avient determined that the material
required a special combination of properties:
• A heat-resistant base resin that would provide the level of
signal dampening prescribed
• Mechanical properties that would ensure an effective
electrical connection and at the same time allow for
snap-fit installation
• A cost-effective solution that would enable the
manufacturer to compete in this new market
Striving for optimal results, the manufacturer evaluated more
than 30 different materials.

HOW GLS TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN HOME APPLIANCE
ANTI-VIBRATION FEET
• Reduced appliance movement and noise –
vibration damping technology reduces
movement and noise of the appliance
when in use
• Resistance to wear and tear – TPEs are proven
to maintain their shape and resist tears with
low compression set
• Better performance and function – increase
design freedom with material selection
flexibility
• Improved processability – boost efficiency
with injection molding processing and reduce
overall production cycle time
and costs
• Reduced number of part defects – eliminate
secondary operations to achieve consistent
and controlled results
