A soft, black, flame retardant thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) in the thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) family. This material has been designed to meet the Underwriter Laboratories (UL) Subjects 6703, 6703A, 3730 and 1703 material requirements for both junction boxes and connectors (both enclosure and insulation) for use in photovoltaic systems. The flame retardants used are RoHS compliant and provide UL 94 flammability classifications of V-1 down to a thickness of 1.5 mm and 5VA down to a thickness of 1.8 mm. The material has an elevated Relative Thermal Index (RTI) of 90°C and meets the requirements for suitability for outdoor use with an (f1) rating. This grade of Santoprene TPV is shear-dependent and can be processed on conventional thermoplastics equipment for injection molding. It is polyolefin based and recyclable within the manufacturing stream.
