THERMOPLASTIC POLYURETHANE MATERIAL WITH ENHANCED FLUID IMMERSION AND WATER ABSORPTION CAPABILITIES

摘要

The present invention relates to compositions for use as cable coverings, e.g. insulation or jacket, that meets industry requirements (especially Mil-PRF-85045F) for low water absorption, and high tensile strength and elongation retention properties upon fluid immersion. The compositions contain a base polymer having (a) a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU); (b) a chlorinated flame retardant; and (c) an antimony flame retardant.
