Choose Your Path (Go to the Right Subpage)
Start with the dominant constraint. For multi-constraint projects (e.g., motion + low temperature, HFFR + motion), start from the closest path and request a combined shortlist via advanced functional tuning.
Safety & Compliance
Compliance-driven projects where flame strategy and hazardous-area safety dominate selection.
Flame Retardant
Anti-Static
Thick-Wall Stability
- Halogen-free route required but toughness + processing must remain stable
- Hazardous environments where electrostatic control matters
- Higher retesting cost: prefer repeatable manufacturing
Dynamic Motion
Drag chain and robotic cables exposed to millions of cycles, torsion and jacket-to-jacket rubbing.
Low Friction Wear
Torsion Resistant
Low Ovality
- Cracking after high-cycle bending at small radii
- Stick-slip / squeaking / blocking due to friction
- Stable extrusion geometry and surface consistency
Harsh Environment
Cold, outdoor and demanding handling conditions where flexibility and durability must hold under exposure.
Crack Resistant
Connector Zone Wear
Outdoor Handling
- Cold cracking and stiffness increase during winter handling
- Durability near connectors and repeated bending in power use
- Exposure balance (temperature cycling, water/oil, field wear)
Value & Wear
Abrasion-heavy applications where competitive cost targets must still meet real wear and handling needs.
Cut Resistance
Value Series
Stable Extrusion
- High wear, cut risk, rugged routing and handling abuse
- Value-driven shortlist (performance vs cost)
- Repeatable surface quality for competitive projects
Typical Data (Reference Only)
Values vary by formulation and package. Always confirm on finished cables under your target standards and wall thickness.

| TPU-CBL ABR | High abrasion & cost-optimized | 1.15–1.23 | 95A–55D | 35–55 | 350–550 | 15–60 | Extrusion jacket |
Note: Data for reference only. Exact compliance depends on cable structure, additive packages, processing window and verification standards.
Customization Options (Project-Focused)
Beyond standard grade families, cable jacket compounds can be tuned around real failure risks,
handling conditions and compliance routes. Typical customization directions include:
Surface & Handling
- Matte / anti-block surface to reduce sticking and noise
- Low-friction surface for drag chain and dense routing
- Surface feel tuning for installation and handling
Flame Strategy
- Halogen-free flame-retardant (HFFR) routes
- FR level balancing with toughness and extrusion stability
- Strategy selection based on cable structure and wall thickness
Anti-Static / ESD
- Anti-static jacket systems for hazardous areas
- Surface resistivity control (project-dependent)
- Safety-focused formulation without over-hardening
Low-Temperature Flexibility
- Cold-flex packages for winter handling and bending
- Crack resistance at low temperature
- Balance between flexibility and abrasion
Environmental Durability
- Hydrolysis resistance for water exposure
- Heat & aging balance near connectors
- Weathering resistance for outdoor service
Functional Stacking
- Combined requirements (e.g. flex + HFFR, low-temp + abrasion)
- Processing window tuning for stable extrusion
- Project-based formulation support
Note: Customization scope depends on cable design, target standards and verification plan.
For multi-constraint projects, we recommend starting from the closest system page and requesting an advanced functional shortlist.
Request Samples / TDS
Share your cable type, wall thickness, target standards (if any), and extrusion line conditions. We will recommend a shortlist and provide TDS/SDS for trials.
