M. Holland Company Wire & Cable TPE 5595 LSZH Thermoplastic Vulcanizate
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Elastomer, TPE; Thermoplastic Vulcanizate Elastomer (TPV)

Material Notes: TPE 5595 LSZH is a natural, olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) intended for wire and cable insulation and jacketing applications where high temperature performance and excellent flame resistance are required. TPE 5595 LSZH contains a novel non-halogen intumescent flame retardant additive package designed to reduce normal PE flame spread characteristics and achieve a VW-1 flame resistant rating on 14 AWG wires and larger. It also offers good extrusion processing characteristics on either conventional polyethylene or PVC extrusion lines. In addition, TPE 5595 LSZH contains a UV stabilization additive package that provides effective long-term UV weather resistance. TPE 5595 LSZH is readily pigmented to a variety of colors using standard wire and cable color concentrates designed for thermoplastic or crosslinked polyolefins.

Application: TPE 5595 LSZH is intended for 125°C UL rated appliance wire and other flame retardant insulation or jacketing constructions. Specifically, this product is rated a V-0 by UL Standard 94 at a minimum thickness of 0.062 inches. TPE 5595 LSZH is capable of achieving a VW-1 flame resistance on 14 AWG or larger conductors as per UL Standard 1581.
