Description
Recent advances in metallocene catalyst technology, often referred to as single-site or constrained geometry catalyst (CGC), are presenting the wire and cable industry innovative technical solutions. The new elastomers made with the CGC catalysts are providing engineers and compounders more latitude in developing cost-effective products with a good balance of
processability and end-use performance. This paper will review the properties of the new ethylene-octene and ethylene-butene elastomers and their application in the wire and cable industry.
