Kraton® polymers have been used for various wire and cable products. Kraton G polymers can be formulated for use in flexible cords, industrial cords, automotive primary wire, control wire, booster cables, welding cables, molded plugs and connectors. Kraton D polymers are cost-effective solutions for less demanding applications. Kraton FG polymers can be used to enhance compatibility between flame retardant fillers and the polymer matrix.

Compounds based on Kraton G polymers offer wire and cable designers, application engineers and processors a combination of high-performance benefits:

• Excellent tensile strength and elongation
• Oil and abrasion resistance
• Cold temperature strength and impact resistance
• Rubber-like feel and appearance
• Lightweight
• Excellent colorability
• Good weatherability
• Good thermal aging
• Resistance to most acids and bases
• Flame retardant to V-0 rating
