With the enhancement of environmental awareness, environmentally friendly wire and cable materials are constantly emerging. According to the industry research report “Development Prospects of Green Materials in Wire and Cable”, some new materials are gradually replacing traditional materials.
In terms of degradable insulating materials, bio-based materials such as polylactic acid (PLA) have attracted much attention. PLA is mainly made of biomass raw materials such as corn starch. It has good insulation properties. Its molecular structure is stable and can effectively prevent current leakage. At the same time, it can be decomposed by microorganisms in the natural environment and reduce the long-term impact on the environment. Lead-free sheath materials such as thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) do not contain harmful substances such as lead. TPE has excellent flexibility and wear resistance. Its composition is obtained through special polymer blending modification. While protecting the internal structure of the cable, it meets environmental protection requirements. For example, an environmentally friendly cable developed by an enterprise uses a TPE sheath. It has passed strict environmental protection standard tests and performed excellently in flexibility tests. It can withstand multiple bends without breaking. The application of these environmentally friendly materials not only meets the electrical performance requirements but also actively responds to environmental protection policies and promotes the wire and cable industry to develop in a green and sustainable direction.
