Chemigum® and Sunigum® powdered elastomers have been used to
tailor-make thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) in blends
with different types of plastics for cable jacketing
applications.

In
traditional PVC compounds, Chemigum® elastomers enhance flexibility, oil
resistance, abrasion resistance and 'rubber-like'
appearance. They also help to retain plasticizers,
thus maintaining physical properties after severe
aging.
Thanks to
its intrinsic resistance to degradation
by heat and Ultra-Violet (UV) radiation,
Sunigum® elastomer will be particularly
recommended for light color cable
jacketing or when resistance to high
temperature is needed.
Sunigum® elastomer modification of thermoplastic
polyurethane (TPU) or Co-polyester
(COPE) provides a way to lower the hardness and
the modulus, improve softness and lower gloss
if needed. In addition, Sunigum elastomer is
free of double bonds and has inherently good
light stability.
Sunigum® elastomer modifies the aesthetics
of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)
and co-polyester (COPE), to give
a plasticizer-free soft touch.
