Thermoplastic elastomers in the frame for CCTV

Kuala Lumpur – Kraiburg TPE has highlighted the role of its thermoplastic elastomer (TPEs) materials in ensuring the reliability and proper functioning of CCTV and imaging systems.

TPEs have captured the CCTV and imaging equipment markets by delivering durability, flexibility, and resistance to environmental stress, Kraiburg TPE set out in a recent release.

These properties ensure surveillance components maintain consistent performance and reliability, even in challenging conditions, noted the global manufacturer of TPE compounds.

In particular, the company said its CS series delivers superior mechanical properties to ensure robust, reliable performance of surveillance cameras and imaging devices.

Other key features include: resistance to household chemicals; protection against UV exposure; heat tolerance up to 110°C; and compliance with the UL94 HB flammability standard.

The TPEs, continued Kraiburg TPE, provide sealing efficiency and structural stability, making them suitable for components like sealing rings and gaskets in outdoor CCTV enclosures exposed to harsh environments.

Building on the sealing capabilities, the CS series is claimed to deliver “the ideal flexibility and viscoelasticity needed to secure cable connections and grommets.”

This said the supplier, “enhances the integrity of cable connections: providing effective strain relief, resisting mechanical cracking, and ensuring a consistent, airtight seal around cables.”

Kraiburg TPE further pointed to the soft-touch properties of the TPEs for optimised user handling and a compression set optimised for effective vibration damping for imaging devices on various mountings.
