Next Generation PVC Elastomers with Superior Low Temp Performance
The plastics market in wire and cable is projected to reach US$15 billion by 2027, with PVC dominating due to its flexibility, flame resistance and oil resistance. However, PVC’s low-temperature performance remains a challenge. This study examines two new PVC elastomer grades (75 and 85 Shore A) that offer excellent flame retardancy, physical properties and superior low-temperature performance (-60°C). These grades meet flame-retardant (LOI > 35%), oil resistance (Oil I & II) and temperature (105°C) standards.
