News - Durable Matte-Finish EV Charging Cable Solution with Si-TPV 3100-55A Processing Aid and Surface Modifier

Si-TPV, A Soft, Durable TPU Processing Aid and Surface Modifier for EV Charging Cable

As the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) accelerates, there is a growing demand for durable and user-friendly charging cables. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) has emerged as the preferred material due to its flexibility and mechanical strength. However, frequent handling, exposure to weather, and friction can often result in:

- Surface cracking and wear

- Sticky or rough cable surfaces

- Accumulated dust and compromised aesthetics

- Reduced cable lifespan and a diminished user experience

If your EV charging cables are experiencing any of these problems, it's time to consider a new solution for your TPU formulation optimization.

Strategies to Address EV Charging TPU Cable Challenges: Approaches to Optimize TPU Formulation

Si-TPV 3100-55A: A TPU Processing Additive and Surface Modifier for EV Charging Cable Applications

SILIKE’s Si-TPV 3100-55A is not only a versatile raw thermoplastic silicone-based elastomer material but also incorporates an innovative silicone-based modifier and additive. This combination offers a durable, skin-friendly soft touch and exceptional stain resistance. Free from plasticizers and softeners, it ensures safety and performance without any precipitation, even after prolonged use. This series acts as an effective plastic additive and polymer modifier, making it ideal for enhancing thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) formulations.

Unlike conventional processing additives and polymer modifier, Si-TPV is provided in pellet form, processes like standard thermoplastics, and ensures homogeneous dispersion throughout the polymer matrix. This results in stable surface properties, enduring aesthetics, and an outstanding tactile feel, making it ideal for high-performance TPU cable compounds.

How Si-TPV Solves the Industry’s Toughest Cable Material Challenges

1. Surface Wear and Dust Buildup

Adding 6% Si-TPV improves TPU surface smoothness and scratch resistance. It prevents dust adhesion and creates a non-tacky, low-maintenance surface with a premium feel—ideal for high-traffic charging stations.

2. Lack of Flexibility and Aging Resistance

Incorporating 10% or more of Si-TPV into TPU softens the compound, enhancing flexibility, elastic recovery, and overall comfort. Perfect for fast-charging cables exposed to frequent bending and harsh conditions.

3. Poor Aesthetic and Tactile Quality

Si-TPV upgrades TPU cable aesthetics by delivering a matte, skin-friendly finish with vibrant color saturation. This helps your cables look and feel premium—while improving UV and wear resistance.

Formula Efficiency: Si-TPV functions effectively not only in TPU but also in various TPE matrices.

Processing Friendly: Supplied in pellet form, it integrates easily into formulations without causing blooming or precipitation.

Wide Compatibility: Suitable for a broad range of applications, including consumer electronics, automotive interiors, medical devices, hoses, and—most notably—EV charging cables.

As the electric vehicle (EV) market expands, don't let traditional cable materials constrain your performance. Elevate your product with Si-TPV 3100-55A—and enjoy charging cables that last longer, feel better, and are visually appealing, standing out from the rest.
