MATERIALS FOR

Wire, Cable & Electrical Applications 

We move fast and we need information to move fast too. We expect uninterrupted data, responsive instruments and clear signals. And above all other performance criteria, we value safety. To support the growth and speed of information exchange, we've designed a robust material portfolio, giving options to engineers who are building cables to provide data, energy and power, control, signals and other functions while adhering to strict fire performance standards.

What are you making?

Choose from our proven portfolio or ask us to create a material with your specific performance requirements.

Your needs spark our innovation—and they always have. For over 30 years, we’ve partnered with customers like you to develop wire and cable materials that meet the real-world demands of indoor and outdoor installations. From trusted PVC, LSHF, TPE, TPU, and CPE compounds to our newest addition—semi-conductive compounds through our partnership with Shakun Polymers—our growing portfolio is built with your performance goals in mind. As your requirements evolve, so do we—so you can count on our expertise to deliver exactly what you need, when you need it.

Formulated for reliability. Custom-fit to your application.

Reliable compounds, built for your exact cable application. Data, power, or specialty cables—our materials are customized to deliver performance you can count on.  Explore some of the cable solutions built with our materials.

Compound & Additive Portfolio

We work with a wide range of polymers to meet evolving industry needs. Our journey began in the 1980s, formulating flame-retardant PVC compounds, and quickly expanded into a broader set of polymer technologies.

​​

As the demand for faster data and reliable energy transmission grew, we developed a comprehensive material portfolio tailored for cable engineers—supporting applications from power and control to signal and communication, all while meeting rigorous global fire performance standards.

​​

Over time, our portfolio has grown through both innovation and strategic acquisition. In areas where products overlap, we’ve preserved heritage brand names to ensure continuity for our customers—especially those with existing product approvals—while continuing to offer trusted performance backed by decades of material expertise.

The brand names GARAFLEX, GARATHANE, MEGOLON, MEXIFLEX, POLIVISOL, SMOKEGUARD, SYLVIN, VINAPRENE, and VINASTAB are trademarks of Alphagary/Mexichem.
