Thermodan CPE Jacket Compound Solutions for Harsh Environments

Thermodan CPE Jacket Compound solutions are a specialty grade of material that SACO AEI Distribution developed about a decade ago. They have had great success in specialty cable markets that make cables in harsh environments. 

Thermodan HF CPE Jacket Compound Solutions

Thermodan CPE Jacket Compound Solutions are field performance proven in harsh environmental applications where outstanding 40YR+ service life is required for the ultimate protection against the long-term effects of exposure to:

• Sunlight, moisture, cold temperatures abrasion, resistance to oils, fuels, acids, and chemicals 
• Can be extruded as a Thermoplastic Jacket and, where required, exposed to ebeam cross-linking radiation to further toughen the jacket into a true Thermoset Jacket Material. 

High-Performance Characteristics and Technology Advantages 

• Outlasts conventional PVC jackets in long term service life 
• Resists failure in hazardous/harsh environments
• Black UV sunlight resistant
• Natural colorable resistant
• Very low moisture absorption over time
