Custom-engineered thermoplastics for cabling
The halogen-free flame retardant materials were designed in accordance with UL94 and are rated as Category V0 for customers in the electric and electronic industry, for new installations and retrofitting of cables and hoses, as well as pneumatic and hydraulic lines in enclosures and control cabinets. The systems make use of no fewer than five different thermoplastic elastomers: a PA adhesion-optimised Thermolast K compound for the system inlay seal, in addition to flame retardant and custom-engineered TPE materials for sealing elements. One of the challenges of the system was to ensure an absolutely reliable seal of the frame mounted on the control cabinet in accordance with IP 66 protection, as required in process and industrial automation. The frame consists of glass-fibre reinforced PA 6.6 and a TPE compound. The system also includes seal elements of different sizes, which enclose the cables, hoses and lines. Slotted elements are designed for easy installation and exact enclosure of the cables without deformation.
