Autac Inc., a manufacturer of retractile cords, announces the release of customizable Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) cords for trucking applications. Ideal for wire and cable used in trucks, the TPE cords present a smart alternative to Neoprene. TPE is a replacement for Neoprene. Its rubber-like feel and appearance make it comparable. According to the company, TPE has a wider temperature range than Neoprene. Available in a custom-made range of colors, the cords can be color-coded for easy and quick identification. The durable TPE cords were designed to be weather, oil, chemical, ozone, flame, UV, impact and abrasion-resistant. Available in 12-28 AWG, the cords can be designed to handle varying amounts of amperage. The cords are featured in 12", 24", 36" and 48", which can extend on a 1:5 ratio if needed. The TPE cords have dielectric constants of 2.1-2.4 and dielectric strengths of 600 volts. Autac Inc., Tele: (800) 243-3161 or visit www.autacusa.com.
