This paper compares physical properties, including abrasion resistance-of newly introduced thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs), to both ester- and ether-based TPUs. Data shows these TPVs are equal to TPUs in flame retardancy and abrasion resistance while substantially lower in final wire cost. The paper will also discuss future testing and potential applications for these materials
