Thermoplastic cord products have evolved into a product line where specialized, technologically advanced products are required to meet today’s commercial and industrial applications. No longer are plastic cord products used only in applications where oil resistance is needed; today typical applications require cord to perform well in environments of extreme heat and cold and on job sites and factory floors where resistance to oil, chemicals and abrasion is mandatory. General Cable’s role, as the producer of the premiere Carol® Brand plastic cord products, is to ensure that new product development, product innovation and quality not only keep pace with industry requirements but also set the trends. Our plastic cord products carry a full range of listings and certifications with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. and the Canadian Standard Association. In addition, many products meet or exceed the requirements of OSHA, MSHA and other relevant industry standards. Carol is simply the most accepted brand in the industry, having proven itself on the job time after time. Our plastic cord line is the most comprehensive in the industry, ensuring that the proper Carol product can always be specified.
