Electrical and fiber optics
The building and construction industry needs to balance a number of trends, including higher performance, increased durability, improved safety, better aesthetics, reduced maintenance, greater energy efficiency, reduced material use and waste, and lower costs.
To meet this challenge we have developed a range of polymers, rubbers, plasticizers and resins to manufacture and protect electrical components while delivering the highest levels of performance and reliability in severe operating conditions.
Applications and benefits
Escorene™ Ultra EVA copolymers add flexibility, toughness, HFFR and the ability to accept high filler levels.

Escorene™ Ultra EVA copolymers provide photovoltaic cells with a protective adhesive layer between the electronic components and glass.
Recommended products:
Fiber optic cable gel filling compounds, along with tough cable casings and internal supports, are among the critical ingredients that create a secure environment to protect fiber optic threads from temperature extremes and moisture. SpectraSyn™ Hi Vis PAO, SpectraSyn Elite™ mPAO and SpectraSyn™ Lo Vis PAO perform exceptionally well in fiber optic cable gel applications.
SpectraSyn PAO, with their well-defined molecular weights and structures, can be used to make filling compounds with various additives that remain integral (no separation) at extreme temperatures and are compatible with many types of polymers used in cable fabrication.
