Consider Telcar® Thermoplastic Elastomers for their exceptional performance and versatility. Telcar materials maintain flexibility across a broad temperature range, are easily colorable and do not require pre-drying. This translates to efficient production and a material optimized for diverse applications with specific requirements.
Telcar delivers customized performance for all of your wire & cable needs.
Apex® Flexible PVC
TL-1900 Series
Telcar® TL-1900 Series: High Performance Flame Retardant TPEs
Designed for superior resistance to ignition and burning, this high-performance Telcar® series has a UL-94 rating of V-0 at 1.35 mm and a continuous use temperature rating of 105°C per UL-1581. These compounds are RoHS and REACH SVHC compliant, UV-resistant, exhibit good chemical resistance, and remain flexible even at low temperatures. Suitable for extrusion and injection molding, this series includes low durometer grades for flexible molded components. Primarily used for insulation and jacketing, these compounds are good candidates for SEOW FR and VW-1 constructions.
Telcar® TL-2900 Series: Crush and Deformation Resistant TPEs
These specialty Telcar® compounds are highly resistant to deformation, making them suitable candidates for ribbon cables. These grades are UL-94 rated for V-0 at 1.5 mm and are UV-resistant for superior weatherability. This series is suitable for extrusion applications only.
Telcar® TL-3050 Series: UL Wet Location Approved TPEs
These specialty compounds are UL wet location approved, making them good candidates for submersible pump cables. This low-density series has a UL-94 rating of HB at 1.5 mm and can be processed by extrusion or injection molding.
Telcar® TL-8400 Series: Standard Non-Flame Retardant TPEs
This non-FR Telcar® series carries a UL-94 rating of HB, and per UL-1581, these grades are approved for continuous use up to 105°C. Select grades are also UV-resistant for excellent outdoor weatherability. Although these products can be processed by injection molding and extrusion, they are used primarily in cable insulation and jacketing.
Telcar® TL-8700 Series: Standard Flame Retardant TPEs
These flame-retardant compounds are UL-94 rated from V-2 to V-0 at 3.0 mm, yet are RoHS and REACH SVHC compliant. With improved flame resistance, this series enhances the performance of cable insulation and jacketing. Select grades are UV-resistant for improved weatherability. These grades are rated for a continuous use temperature of 105°C per UL-1581.
Apex 60000 series compounds are flexible, opaque, flame retardant PVC formulations. They are commonly used in communication wire insulation and riser applications, as well as in general purpose applications.
Telcar® compounds are well-suited for wire and cable applications due to their outstanding electrical properties and ozone and chemical resistance. These compounds are primarily used for cable insulation and for insulation and jacketing for flexible cords in low voltage applications. The major advantage of Telcar® is its broad thermal performance and the ability to maintain flexibility even at very low temperatures.
The Telcar® product line includes flame retardant (FR) and non-FR solutions, and standard grades are UL certified. High-performance Telcar® grades have excellent UV resistance, a wide service temperature range of -60oC to 105oC, and UL-94 ratings of V-0.
