TinToll's range of polymer additives, finds significant applications within the Wire & Cable industry. Here's how these additives contribute to enhancing the performance and durability of wire and cable products:
In outdoor applications, cables are exposed to harsh environmental conditions, including UV radiation from sunlight. UV absorbers are incorporated into cable jacketing materials to prevent UV-induced degradation, such as discoloration, embrittlement, and loss of mechanical properties. This ensures that the cable's protective jacket remains intact and maintains its integrity over time.
Light stabilizers, particularly HALS hindered amine stabilizers, are employed to protect cable jacketing materials from the effects of light exposure. They help prevent the breakdown of the polymer chains due to light-induced degradation, maintaining the cable's strength and flexibility.
Antioxidants play a critical role in insulating materials used in cables. They prevent oxidation, which can lead to the deterioration of the insulating layer over time. By incorporating antioxidants like PowerNox, the insulating materials remain stable, ensuring the longevity and safety of the cables.
PowerNox antioxidants not only inhibit oxidation but also act as metal deactivators. In cables, where copper conductors are used, the presence of copper ions can accelerate degradation processes. Metal deactivators passivate copper ions, reducing their negative impact on the polymer matrix and extending the cable's operational life.
Hindered Amine Stabilizers (HALS - PowerStab): In certain cable applications, heavy metal stabilizers were traditionally used to enhance thermal and UV stability. However, due to environmental concerns, there's a growing demand for alternatives. PowerStab HALS serves as a suitable replacement for heavy metal stabilizers, providing comparable performance without the environmental drawbacks.
