In the manufacturing of electrical cables, the insulation material plays a critical role in ensuring safety, performance, and longevity. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. highlights the essential function of polyethylene wax as a specialized additive in cable insulation compounds. Its incorporation enhances both the processing capabilities of the insulation material and the final electrical properties of the cable itself.

The primary benefit of polyethylene wax in cable insulation is its effectiveness as a lubricant during the extrusion process. Cable insulation is typically applied through extrusion, where the molten polymer is forced through a die onto the conductor. The presence of PE wax reduces friction between the polymer melt and the extruder barrel, as well as the die. This results in a smoother extrusion process, allowing for higher line speeds and improved throughput. Efficient cable insulation lubricant performance directly translates to increased manufacturing output and reduced processing costs.

Beyond the processing advantages, polyethylene wax also contributes to the improved electrical properties of the insulation. While it is not an electrical insulator itself, its presence can influence the morphology of the polymer matrix in a way that enhances dielectric strength and reduces electrical leakage. This is particularly important in high-voltage applications where maintaining the integrity of the insulation is paramount for preventing electrical failures and ensuring safety.

Furthermore, the addition of PE wax can improve the physical characteristics of the insulation compound, such as its resistance to abrasion and its overall durability. This helps the cable withstand the rigors of installation and environmental exposure throughout its service life.
