Syensqo polymers can be used as insulating material for Ethernet and Fiber Optic cables in plenum space. The insulation is needed both for jackets and conduit.
Here are the key properties for cable coating applications (more precise data are customer-based):
- Temperature resistance (continuous service T > 150 °C)
- High elongation at break (> 100%)
- Mechanical resistance (tensile strength > 20%)
- Extrudable
- Inflammable (UL94 V0, LOI requirements)
- Colorable
- Chemical resistance (fuel, motor oil, lubricant, organic solvents at high T)
