EV Cable Compounds That Perform: Engineered for Extremes

As electric vehicle (EV) adoption grows, engineers face increasing pressure to design charging infrastructure that performs reliably in diverse and demanding environments. One critical challenge is ensuring that charging station cables maintain flexibility and durability across extreme temperature ranges—especially in cold climates where brittleness can compromise safety and functionality.

Our materials are engineered to meet this challenge head-on. We offer a portfolio of high-performance compounds specifically developed for EV charging applications, with a focus on low-temperature flexibility and long-term outdoor durability.

Key features of our solutions include:

• Flame-retardant TPEs for flexible, safe cable sheathing

• Robust FR TPU compounds offering enhanced mechanical strength and abrasion resistance

• Halogen-free (LSHF/HFFR) grades, including cross-linked options via ebeam or silane technologies for added thermal and chemical stability

  
  

These compounds are designed to comply with stringent global standards, including those in Europe and North America. They deliver consistent performance in harsh conditions—from high UV exposure and moisture to sub-zero temperatures—without sacrificing flexibility or structural integrity.

For engineers developing next-generation EV infrastructure, our materials provide a reliable foundation for cables that must perform in the real world, not just in the lab.
