Electric Cable Compounds Inc

About Electric Cable Compounds Inc

Electric Cable Compounds Inc (ECC) was established in 1988 in Naugatuck, Connecticut, as a privately owned and operated company. The business began as an independent global supplier focused on the design, development, and manufacture of thermoplastic and thermoset compounds for wire and cable applications. ECC operates a non‑carbon‑black compounding facility that specializes in elastomeric, high‑performance rubber (EPR), polyolefin, and other specialty polymer‑based compounds and masterbatches. Its capabilities include custom compounding, toll mixing, formulation design, and the production of customized masterbatches with additives such as flame retardants, antioxidants, UV stabilizers, anti‑static agents, slip agents, and process aids. The site houses automated proprietary production lines with state‑of‑the‑art process control, as well as pilot‑scale equipment — Banbury mixers, twin‑screw extruders, a pilot wire line, and pilot compounding lines — supported by an on‑site laboratory staffed by chemists and technicians who conduct analytical testing (FTIR, DSC, TGA, rheology, LOI, flammability, thermal aging, moisture content, chemical compatibility, tensile/elongation/modulus, melt flow index, specific gravity, hardness) and extrusion trials. The company’s primary market is wire and cable insulation and jacket materials, serving domestic and international customers. It also notes expansion into new markets beyond its core wire‑and‑cable focus. ECC emphasizes its commitment to exceptional product quality, continuous improvement, and technical expertise, which it says yields compounds with a unique combination of flexibility, electrical performance, aging stability, and processability. Every box of material undergoes comprehensive testing prior to shipment to ensure consistency and reduce customer scrap.
