Wire and Cable Solutions
Lubrizol offers non-halogenated or halogen-free, innovative thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) polyether and electrostatic dissipative solutions for wire and cable applications for the energy, robotics, electric vehicles, communication, geophysical, automotive, oil and gas and industrial markets.
Push the Limits of Performance
What environmental forces does your wire or cable endure?
Wire and cable jackets or cable sheathings made with our thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) provide the toughness, flexibility at lower temperatures, flame retardancy (non-halogenated) and abrasion resistance needed to extend the durability and service life of cables - whether they're stored outdoors, reeled and unreeled in extreme climates, twisted over rocky terrain, pulled through desert sands or arctic ice, or submerged in water. Our most recent development is a mass balance TPU solution for cables, you can find more information on our sustainable ESTANE RNW ZHF grade here.
