M. Holland Company Wire & Cable TPE 5490 Thermoplastic Elastomer
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Elastomer, TPE; Olefinic TPE

Material Notes: TPE 5490 is a natural, olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) intended for wire and cable insulation and jacketing. It is designed to offer excellent low temperature flexibility and deformation resistance. TPE 5490 offers good extrusion processing characteristics on either conventional polyethylene or PVC extrusion lines. TPE 5490 is readily pigmented to a variety of colors using standard wire and cable color concentrates designed for thermoplastic or crosslinked polyolefins. UV weather resistance is obtainable by the addition of a suitable carbon black or UV additive.

Application: TPE 5490 is intended for pump cable, flexible cord insulation, and fixture applications. It is also suitable for use in 75°C wet locations.

Availability: North America

Features: Low Temperature Flexibility

Uses: Cable Jacketing; Insulation; Wire & Cable Applications

Agency Ratings: UL 62, Class 36

Appearance: Natural Color

Processing Method: Extrusion
