TPE 5345 is a flexible natural, olefin-based thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) intended for wire and cable insulation and jacketing applications where high temperature performance and excellent flame resistance are required. TPE 5345 complies with "Restriction of Hazardous Substances" Directive, Citation 2002-95-EC, commonly known as RoHS without exemption. TPE 5345 exhibits excellent wet and dry electrical properties and superior chemical resistance. It also provides good resistance to abrasion, impact and crush. TPE 5345 also exhibits superior low temperature properties as demonstrated by it passing cold bend and impact testing at -40°C.

TPE 5345 contains a halogen-based, flame retardant additive package designed to reduce normal PE flame spread characteristics. It also offers good extrusion processing characteristics on either conventional polyethylene or PVC extrusion lines.

TPE 5345 is readily pigmented to a variety of colors using standard wire and cable color concentrates designed for thermoplastic or crosslinked polyolefins.
