FLEX NORYL™ Resin WCA871A

1 of 26 products in this brand
SABIC's Specialties Business FLEX NORYL WCA871A resin is a flexible, non-reinforced extrudable blend of Polyphenylene Ether (PPE) + Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE). This material contains non-halogenated flame retardant and performance capable of meeting UL VW-1 requirements, 105C end use temperature rating, and heat deformation performance as defined by UL 1581. FLEX NORYL WCA871A resin is intended for evaluation in wire insulation and cable jacket applications in light colors. It has a Shore A Hardness reading of 84 and exhibits superior thermal stability, very low water absorption, good electric properties, and low specific gravity. Processing is typically conducted on standard extrusion equipment, and UL 1581 testing is conducted on 2.0mm wire with 0.12mm X 20 stranded copper conductor.
