High-Temperature Stability: It maintains structural integrity at 105°C, resisting softening or degradation during continuous high-temperature operation—unlike standard PVC, which may become brittle or lose insulating properties above 70°C.
Chemical & Oil Resistance: It forms a protective barrier against oil pollution and slight chemical solvent erosion, common in industrial settings such as manufacturing plants or mechanical workshops. This resistance prevents insulation degradation that could expose the conductor to short circuits.
Flame-Retardant Synergy: It works in tandem with the wire’s flame-retardant system (detailed in Section 1.4) to suppress fire spread, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
Enhanced High-Temperature Resistance: It tolerates continuous 105°C operation with even greater stability than flame-retardant PVC, and can withstand short-term temperatures above 120°C without degradation.
Aging & Mechanical Strength: The cross-linked molecular structure makes XLPE highly resistant to aging, UV radiation, and mechanical stress (such as impact or abrasion). This extends the wire’s service life to over 10 years—a significant advantage for long-term industrial equipment like continuously operating production lines or large industrial furnaces.
Superior Dielectric Strength: XLPE has a higher dielectric strength than PVC, reducing the risk of electrical breakdown even in humid or dusty environments, and enhancing overall electrical safety.
Compliance with GB/T 19666-2019: Regular models meet the Class B flame-retardant requirements of China’s national standard GB/T 19666-2019 (General Specification for Flame-Retardant and Fire-Resistant Wires, Cables or Optical Cables), while high-end models exceed this to meet Class A flame-retardant standards—the highest level for flame retardancy in this specification.
Flame-Suppression Mechanism: The insulation layer (whether PVC or XLPE) is infused with environmentally friendly flame retardants (free of halogens and heavy metals, aligning with global environmental regulations). When exposed to an open flame, these retardants trigger a chemical reaction that forms a dense, heat-resistant carbonized layer on the insulation surface. This layer acts as a barrier, inhibiting flame spread along the wire and blocking the release of flammable gases that fuel fires.
Low Smoke & Toxicity: The flame-retardant formulation minimizes smoke production and reduces the release of toxic gases (such as chlorine or carbon monoxide) during combustion—critical for protecting personnel and equipment in enclosed industrial spaces.
Self-Extinguishing Capability: A key performance metric is the wire’s ability to self-extinguish within 30 seconds of removing the fire source, limiting fire damage and preventing the spread of flames to surrounding equipment.
Copper Strand Drawing: Pure copper rods are drawn into thin strands (0.1-0.2mm diameter) using specialized wire-drawing machines, which ensure uniform diameter and a smooth surface finish (imperfections in strand diameter can reduce conductivity or cause insulation gaps).
Strand Assembly: Strands are stranded using computer-controlled precision stranding machines, which adjust pitch and tension to ensure even distribution and tight bonding. This process is monitored in real time to avoid inconsistencies.
Insulation Extrusion: For PVC insulation, the flame-retardant PVC compound is heated and extruded over the Stranded Conductor using an extrusion machine with precise temperature control—ensuring a uniform insulation thickness (critical for electrical safety and thermal resistance). For XLPE insulation, the extruded layer undergoes a cross-linking process (either chemical or radiation-based) to create the robust molecular structure.
Post-Production Curing: Insulated Wires are cured in temperature-controlled ovens to stabilize the insulation material, enhancing its thermal and mechanical properties.
Conductor Conductivity Testing: Each batch of Stranded Conductors is tested for DC resistance, ensuring compliance with the ≤10.1Ω/km standard.
Thermal Resistance Testing: Samples are exposed to 105°C continuous heat (and 120°C short-term heat) for extended periods, with insulation and conductor performance monitored for degradation.
Flame-Retardant Testing: Samples are tested in accordance with GB/T 19666-2019, measuring flame spread distance, self-extinguishing time, and smoke/toxic gas emission.
Mechanical Testing: Bending tests validate the minimum bending radius, while tensile and abrasion tests assess insulation durability.
Chemical Resistance Testing: PVC-insulated samples are exposed to industrial oils and solvents to check for insulation degradation.
Conductor Cross-Sectional Areas: Common options include 0.5mm², 0.75mm², 1mm², 1.5mm², 2.5mm², 4mm², and 6mm²—covering power requirements from small control circuits to medium-sized auxiliary equipment.
Outer Diameter: Varies with conductor size and insulation thickness, typically ranging from 2.0mm to 8.0mm, ensuring compatibility with Standard Cable glands, conduits, and installation spaces.
Custom conductor cross-sectional areas for non-standard power needs.
Specialized insulation colors (beyond standard black, red, blue, yellow) for color-coding in complex wiring systems (e.g., differentiating control circuits from power circuits).
