Adding surface texture can make harder grade TPEs feel softer to the touch, so your product can benefit from both qualities.
So a surface treatment is recommended for products such as wearables.
TPEs offer excellent barrier properties against both air and moisture.

The formulation of ECCOH XL 8001 has been
optimized so that, when used in combination
with the catalyst, ambient curing can be
accomplished in a short time, with the material
exhibiting very good Hot Set Test values.
The material adds value to this
insulation in myriad ways:
• Good flame retardancy with low smoke,
toxicity & corrosiveness
• Excellent mechanical properties
• Good surface smoothness
• Ambient moisture curing with good
Hot Set Test
• Very good electrical properties
Manufacturing of cable insulation with ECCOH XL
8001 is done using silane chemical crosslinking.

• FIBER-LINE®’s ability to add value to the already
attractive properties of both Kevlar®Para-Aramid &
Nomex® Meta-Aramid creates more opportunity in
the market place to provide solution driven products
to a diverse range of markets.
• Because FIBER-LINE® already processes so many dif-
ferent types and deniers of both Kevlar® & Nomex®,
we have been authorized by DuPont™ to distribute
small quantities of these fibers to an ever-growing
customer base

Carbon fiber is known for its strength, toughness, vibration damping, and electric conductivity, while fiberglass offers excellent mechanical and insulative properties.
Polymer composites can be thermoset or thermoplastic, so thermoset composites and thermoplastic composites are both types of polymer composites.
For example, thermoset composites have high temperature resistance and excellent fatigue resistance.
