PA compounds for cable extrusion
Promyde® and Proxylene present a range of PA6 and PBT polymers specifically for the extrusion of both internal and external cable sheathing; achieving optimum protection for all cables manufactured with our polymers.
Another important application of Promyde PA6 is the production of flexible and corrugated pipes for electrical conduits used to protect cables in automobiles, trucks, trains and industrial machinery.
Air pipes and air conditioning systems have requirements for mechanical strength at low temperatures, UV and heat resistance in extreme temperature environments over time and with requirements for flexible properties, they need very sophisticated extrusion compounds.
MEETING THE MOST STRINGENT REQUIREMENTS
- Compliance with stringent European rail standards EN 45545-2
- Resistance to breakage at extreme temperatures
- Thermal stability for optimum performance on the move and under temperature
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
POLYAMIDE FOR CABLE EXTRUSION
Our high viscosity Promyde range, with its exceptional impact resistance, strength, high toughness at extreme temperatures, low abrasion, high process performance, good electrical insulation and chemical resistance properties, is the ideal material to achieve high durability of polyamide cable sheathing.
The most common cable applications include nautical cables, fiber optic cables as well as THHN, THWN and TFFN cables.
Cable extrusion benefits
Promyde PA6 provides consistent wire thickness in the most critical processes such as micro and millimeter extrusions. Promyde can be modified to suit indoor and outdoor applications with different performance requirements in extreme temperature environments, stationary and moving mechanical environments.
CORRUGATED PIPE SYSTEMS
Small and large diameter pipes are often produced by corrugated extrusion. Thanks to the use of our range of products Promyde drive systems benefit from added flexibility and optimal protection.
PROMYDE FOR ELECTRICAL CONDUITS
Promyde can be used in extrusion processes for the production of electrical conduits that combine properties of flexibility, mechanical performance and heat resistance so that vehicle electrical systems can operate in varying climatic conditions without technical problems.
HIGH VISCOSITY PBT GRADES
Proxylene B97 P2 is a high viscosity PBT grade with good processability for the extrusion of optical fiber tubes, cables, pipes and profiles.
Proxylene B97 P2 is used in a wide range of applications where a combination of mechanical properties, thermal resistance and dimensional stability are needed.

Solutions
Thermal stabilization
PA grades with excellent long-term thermal stabilization up to 180ºC are available. Thanks to our innovative technology, we offer highly thermally stabilized grades free of metallic and halogenated compounds.
UV Resistance
To increase the lifetime of parts exposed to sunlight, we offer compounds with UV resistant properties.
Flame Retardant
Flame resistant grades that meet the most demanding requirements, from V2 to V0 in UL94 and a GWFI of up to 960º. Halogen-free solutions and EN45545 grades available.
Electrical conductivity
We offer PA6 compounds with a wide range of electrical conductivities, from anti-static grades to materials with high conductivity grades (from 10 to 1012 Ohm).
Thermal conductivity
Promyde® has a new range of PA6 with added thermally conductive properties to provide solutions for new applications where heat dissipation is sought.
Applications
Optical fiber cable
Optical fiber cables are crucial in modern telecommunications. NUREL has developed a specific range of Proxylene (PBT) to reinforce and protect the delicate optical fibers within the cable. We also offer special grades of Promyde PA6 for optical fiber cables with high impact resistance requirements.
Cable jacketing
At NUREL, we provide heat-resistant, UV-stable and even flame-retardant polyamide and PBT compounds for the production of cables, wires and cable protection.
Corrugated pipes
Promyde B33 is commonly used for corrugated pipes of this diameter, and Promyde B36 and B38 for larger diameters.
Pipes and Tubes
Promyde® PA6 is widely used in pipe extrusion due to its exceptional strength, durability, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures, corrosion, pressure, and chemical resistance. Additionally, the Promyde PA range offers flexible grades specifically for this type of application.
