Creating your own professional marketing
imagery
Professional, photo-realistic images are easily
generated for use in reports, datasheets, quotations
and catalogues. This removes the cost of hiring
external photographers or agencies each time you
add to your product range. CableBuilder3D gives you
ready access to a continually up-to-date image library
fully within your control.
Bringing your products to life
What better way for your customers to appreciate
the innovative design of your cables than by seeing
an iteration as close as possible to the physical
prototype? CableBuilder’s 3D imaging can be
integrated easily into your website, enabling
your customers to search directly for their cable
requirements through an impressive visual interface.

AFLAS® Fluoroelastomer Grade Produces
Lighter, Thinner High-Voltage Cables
for Electric Vehicles
AGC Chemicals Americas now offers AFLAS® 150E series fluoroelastomers to insulate
high-voltage power cables in electric and hybrid electric vehicles. This advanced
insulation material works with aluminum and copper wire cores to produce cable systems
that outperform traditional systems insulated with silicone rubber or cross-linked
polyethylene (XLPE).
Less material is required to achieve the desired
insulating properties, so EV/HEV cable systems
made with AFLAS 150E are thinner, lighter
weight and more flexible than those made
with XLPE. In addition, AFLAS 150E displays
excellent electrical resistivity, is able to
perform reliably at temperatures up to 200 °C
and is nonflammable. It resists vibration, acids
and bases, solvents, ozone and steam. The
material stands up well to attack from amine-
containing additives in oils and transmission
fluids.
AFLAS fluoroelastomers are copolymers of
tetrafluoroethylene and propylene with high
molecular weights, which give products made with
them unique properties over conventional FKM-
type fluoroelastomers. AFLAS fluoroelastomers are
easily compounded by open mill and internal mixers,
then fabricated into finished parts and shapes using
press molding, injection molding, extrusion and
calendering processes.
