Abstract
Demands continue to increase in various consumer applications for
ergonomically designed products.
To enhance the performance in the end use
application and marketability of such consumer products the use of a
thermoplastic elastomers as an overmold, onto the engineering plastic has
continued to grow.
The market trends in combination with the innovative molding techniques have
available has placed a high demand on thermoplastic elastomer suppliers to
produce compounds capable of bonding to the different engineering plastics
available.

Carbon nanotubes are carbon atoms linked in a cylindrical shape with diameters as small as 1 nanometer and lengths up to several centimeters.5 They have the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any known material.

With regards to PC
alloys, the general trend of increasing chemical
resistance was observed in order of PC/ABS <
PC/PET < PC/PBT, which was expected based on
previous research and the marketing literature of
PC blend manufacturers.4 However, the Edgetek
ET8900 series clearly demonstrated the best ESCR
performance against the household cleaners.
The study suggests that overall, the Trilliant and Edgetek PK blends have enhanced ESCR performance
against a variety of disinfectants/cleaners compared to competitive materials available in the market.

Highly flame retardant—helps to prevent
a fire, or limit the damage if one starts
• Non-halogenated—in the case of a fire,
there are no acid gas emissions which can
damage equipment and buildings
• Low smoke—in the event of fire, people can
locate escape routes, and fire fighters can
quickly find the source of the fire
• Low toxicity—in the event of a fire, people
are not overcome by toxic fumes
• Low dripping—no flaming droplets which
can further propagate the fire or cause injury
• Low emission of corrosive gases when
burned—avoids potential damage to
electrical components and equipment, and
improves human safety
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
The ECCOH XL 8001 is a flame retardant material
for thermoset cable insulation.

MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
• Cable jackets for low and medium-voltage
power cables with metal armoring, typically
installed underground or where installation
requires them to be bent
• Armored cable applications that require
compliance with LTS1 requirements as per
the BS 7655-6.1 standard
IMPACT
• High environmental stress cracking resistance
• High tear strength and elongation at break at
temperatures ranging from -25°C to 90°C
• Flame retardant performance
• Limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 36%
• Exceeds BS 7655-6.1:1997 standard criteria
for LTS1–LTS4 for complex designs and
armored cables
