The safety and reliability of electrical infrastructure depend heavily on the materials used in its components, particularly wires and cables. Fires originating from electrical faults can have devastating consequences, making the incorporation of effective flame retardants a critical design consideration. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we provide specialized chemical solutions designed to meet the stringent safety demands of the electrical industry, with products like BT-93W leading the way in providing robust fire protection.

Wires and cables are often insulated with various polymers that, while providing excellent electrical conductivity and flexibility, can be combustible. Flame retardants are essential additives that prevent or significantly slow down the ignition and spread of fire. For wire and cable applications, a key requirement for these additives is not only their flame-retardant capability but also their impact on the material's electrical properties, especially under humid or wet conditions. This is where the wet electrical properties flame retardant characteristics of BT-93W become particularly advantageous.

BT-93W offers a unique combination of high bromine content and an imide structure, contributing to its exceptional thermal stability and excellent flame retardancy. Crucially for wire and cable applications, it exhibits superior wet electrical properties. This means that even when exposed to moisture or humidity, the insulating material’s electrical resistance remains high, preventing short circuits and ensuring reliable performance. This characteristic is vital for long-term safety and operational efficiency in electrical systems.

Furthermore, the non-blooming flame retardant advantages of BT-93W are beneficial in cable jacketing and insulation. Bloominng, or the migration of additives to the surface, can lead to compromised electrical insulation and potential fire hazards. BT-93W’s resistance to blooming ensures the integrity of the insulating layer and its long-term protective capabilities.

When specifying a flame retardant for wire and cable applications, manufacturers look for additives that can be efficiently processed and integrated into standard polymer formulations such as polyolefins or PVC compounds. BT-93W’s compatibility with these materials, coupled with its inherent stability, makes it a practical and effective choice. Its ability to contribute to meeting critical flammability standards, such as those outlined by UL or IEC, is a key driver for its adoption.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to advancing safety in critical infrastructure sectors. By supplying high-performance flame retardants like BT-93W, we enable manufacturers to produce wires and cables that offer superior fire safety and reliable electrical performance, even in challenging environmental conditions. Our focus on quality and technical excellence ensures that our clients can meet and exceed industry safety standards, contributing to the overall safety and resilience of electrical systems worldwide.
