TPE compounds for wiring harnesses

Custom compounder RTP Company developed for Maxi-Seal a new "Defender" commercial wiring harness system, which offers an unprecedented 10-year warranty against leakage and corrosion. The custom engineered materials included an RTP 1000 Series PBT compound reinforced with glass fibre for the rigid housing, and an RTP 1500 Series polyester thermoplastic elastomer (TEEE) compound for the flexible overmould, which forms a watertight seal. Both compounds provided the necessary chemical and corrosion resistance while bonding so well together that the harness has successfully endured field tests on a fleet of 20 trucks driven 1.6 million miles. The innovative wiring harness design has allowed Maxi-Seal to beat out competitors to win all the wire harness business for the national truck fleet, an extremely large order in the industry.
