TPU is used in applications such as cable jackets. Cables that are reeled, bent or dragged require jacket materials to be evaluated under the intended service conditions.
Selection may involve mechanical properties, low-temperature flexibility, abrasion and weathering requirements. The name TPU alone does not establish a cable’s voltage rating, service life or suitability for extreme environments.
The original article listed power, communications, exploration, automotive and industrial cables. Specific products require selection based on grade, construction and relevant testing requirements.
