US 2018/0023248 A1 · Lubricious Silicone Cable Jackets and Cable Assemblies Formed Therefrom

Abstract

A silicone cable jacket and a cable assembly formed therefrom exhibits lubricious properties. The silicone cable jacket includes a silicone elastomer and a PSQ additive. The PSQ additive is selected as a polyalkylsilsesquioxane, a polyarylsilsesquioxane, a polyalkylaryl-silsesquioxane, or a mixture thereof. The silicone cable jacket exhibits a lower static and dynamic coefficient of friction (COF) as measured according to ASTM D 1894-14 and an enhanced level of abrasion resistance in a DIN 53516 test as compared to a similar cable jacket without the PSQ additive.
