Wiring the Future

Wire and Cable

Helping cable manufacturers provide reliable power and connectivity

Cable manufacturers depend on high-quality materials that meet strict performance and safety requirements for cable applications, including medium-and low-voltage power, solar power, and copper and optical fiber data cables. These critical cables demand materials with excellent flame retardancy, durability, chemical resistance, low smoke and fume emissions, UV stability, laser-markability, regulatory compliance — and more. Avient provides a broad portfolio of specialty polymer solutions to meet your specific wire and cable needs.

Highlights:

  • High flame retardancy with low smoke, fumes, corrosiveness, and toxicity 
  • Useful for permanent outdoor use with UV and weather resistance, in accordance with IEC 60216-1.
  • High color rendition and compatibility with Avient masterbatch
  • UL, IEC, CSA, and CPR-compliant formulations for compliance in U.S. and EU markets and streamlined qualification 
  • Extended service life through UV stability, chemical resistance, and high- and low- temperature performance
  • Lightweight constructions enabled by chemical foaming agents and fiber reinforcements
  • Additive technologies can support conductivity, shielding performance, and signal integrity in high-speed communication and data transmission cables
