(IMCDGroup) -- IMCD Business Group Plastics announces extension of its current product portfolio with the two new compounds from Teknor Apex Company. Apex P-55003 and P-55004 are jacketing compounds based on blends of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) that provide outstanding resistance to the aggressive end-use conditions often encountered by industrial cables.
Apex P-55003 and P-55004 compounds not only have advanced abrasion resistance and excellent tensile properties associated with TPUs, but they also provide resistance to oil and chemicals, toughness at low temperatures, and elevated oxygen indices. The two new compounds are therefore recommended for applications such as factory automation networks, industrial robots, and other plant systems that call for data or control cable.
