Tag : Auto Wire Harness
DSM Engineering Plastics has added rnitel C, for wire and cable coating applications in the automotive industry, to its range of copolyester TPEs.

The company claims improved high-heat aging performance, halogen-free flame retardance and hydrolysis resistance compared with other copolyester elastomers.

Arnitel is also said to offers high abrasion resistance, allowing designers to reduce the weight and mass of wiring and cable through using ultra-thin-wall coatings.

The TPE also is said to beis suitable for other extrusion applications including cable harness components, convoluted tubes and hoses.
