Cable Sheathing made of Elastollan®
The areas in which Elastollan® can be used as sheathing are as manifold as its properties, since it meets the stringent protective requirements for power and control cables.
Elastollan® cable sheathings are used in the automotive industry and in machinery construction. The plastic is also used for special cables used on oil rigs, in power stations and in airport apron areas. BASF offers consistently high product quality and batch-to-batch consistency, setting the standard in the extrusion of cable sheathings in terms of cost effectiveness and processing reliability.
Benefits
Key Properties of Elastollan®
- Abrasion-resistant
- Can be used across a broad range of temperatures
