Teknor Apex Company will exhibit at Wire China. The Company will be represented by Mike Patel, director of marketing and business development, Vinyl Division; See Chong Ng, wire and cable segment manager, Asia Pacific; and James Wu, commercial manager, China. Two of the new developments to be highlighted are:
* Low-temperature compounds for electric vehicle (EV) charger cables- Latest in a growing portfolio of Flexalloy® insulation and jacketing materials for EV applications is Flexalloy 9612-75, a 75 Shore A jacket compound that exhibits a low-temperature brittleness value of < -60 ºC, is capable of complying with the -40 ºC Cold Impact test requirement specified in CSA standards, and also complies with the UL-62 oil resistance requirement. All of the Flexalloy products for EV charger cable are abrasion resistant, resilient, and tough even at very low temperatures, yet cost-effective for large-volume production. The durability and elasticity of Flexalloy PVC elastomers make them high-performance alternatives to standard PVC compounds while being less expensive than premium materials like thermoplastic polyurethane.
* Low-temperature compound for wind turbine and industrial uses- Flexalloy 9614-73 PVC elastomer is a 73 Shore A jacket compound that withstands frigid outdoor and rugged industrial conditions while providing excellent flexibility and flame performance. The product is UV-stabilized and exhibits a brittle point of -65 °C or below. It provides flexibility, tensile strength, and oil resistance and is designed to pass CSA’s FT4 vertical flame test. The property profile of Flexalloy 9614-73 compares well with those of other soft, high-flexibility thermoplastic elastomers used for similar applications, yet it is more cost-effective. It provides cold temperature endurance similar to that of thermoplastic polyurethane.
