Advanced Flame-Retardant Automobile Cable Compounds

Driving Automotive Safety with Advanced Polymer Engineering

Automotive wiring functions as the core nervous system of every vehicle, carrying power and signals across essential components with precision and reliability. From starting and charging systems to lighting circuits, infotainment modules and sensor based electronics, these cables operate under constant stress. They face vibration, friction, exposure to oils and fuels, cramped routing spaces and extreme temperature variations. The protective polymer compound surrounding each conductor therefore plays a vital role in maintaining safety, longevity and electrical efficiency.

Automotive At DEV Polymer, we deliver high performance Automobile Cable Compounds FRLY B and FRLY C engineered to support the evolving needs of global transportation. Our compounds are developed for superior flame resistance, controlled smoke generation, strong thermal endurance and dependable mechanical strength. With over 20 years of polymer expertise and a 10,000+ tons annual production capacity, DEV Polymer ensures consistent quality for every automotive manufacturer.

Why High Performance Automobile Cable Compounds are Essential?

Automotive cables must withstand conditions far more demanding than standard electrical applications. In confined engine and dashboard spaces, cables face continuous movement, sharp bends, chemical exposure and high surface temperatures. Poorly formulated insulation materials can crack, harden, deteriorate or lose dielectric properties over time.

A premium automotive cable compound ensures:

• Strong fire safety to reduce the risk of ignition in case of electrical faults

• Low smoke characteristics for better occupant protection

• Excellent chemical resistance against oils, fuels and lubricants

• Thermal stability across severe temperature shifts

• Long term mechanical durability during constant vibration and assembly movements

DEV Polymer compounds combine these essential properties to enhance vehicle safety and extend cable service life.

Applications of FRLY B and FRLY C Compounds

Our automobile grade formulations are used widely across all categories of vehicles, including two wheelers, passenger cars, commercial fleets and advanced electric vehicles. Key application areas include:

• Starting and charging circuits

• Lighting and signalling cables

• Instrument panel and dashboard wiring

• Infotainment and communication wiring

• High temperature EV circuits and power cables

• Motorcycle and scooter harness assemblies

Whether powering ignition systems or protecting delicate sensor circuits, the compounds ensure consistent electrical performance across every functional zone of a vehicle.

Key Features of DEV Polymer Automobile Compounds
