The wire and cable industry demands materials that offer a critical balance of electrical insulation, mechanical strength, flexibility, and, most importantly, safety. Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) 135A has proven to be an invaluable chemical auxiliary in meeting these stringent requirements. As a leading manufacturer and supplier, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides high-quality CPE 135A that is instrumental in producing reliable and safe wire and cable products.

Why CPE 135A is Crucial for Wire & Cable Applications

CPE 135A is a chlorinated derivative of polyethylene that boasts a unique combination of properties making it ideal for wire and cable insulation and jacketing. Its structure provides excellent performance characteristics, which are crucial for protecting electrical conductors and ensuring operational safety:

  • Flame Retardancy: This is a paramount benefit. CPE's high chlorine content inherently makes it flame retardant. When used in cable jacketing, it helps prevent the spread of fire. In the event of a fire, CPE's decomposition can help self-extinguish the flame, a critical safety feature for densely packed electrical systems and public spaces. Manufacturers actively purchase CPE for these essential safety attributes.
  • Oil and Chemical Resistance: Cables are often installed in environments where they may be exposed to oils, greases, or various chemicals. CPE 135A offers superior resistance to these substances, preventing material degradation, swelling, or loss of insulating properties. This ensures the longevity and reliability of the cable.
  • Low-Temperature Flexibility: A significant advantage of CPE 135A is its ability to remain flexible even at very low temperatures. This is vital for cables installed outdoors or in cold climates, as it prevents cracking or brittleness that could compromise insulation and lead to electrical failures.
  • Abrasion Resistance: CPE jacketing provides good resistance to abrasion and mechanical damage, protecting the underlying insulation and conductors during installation and operation.
  • Compatibility: CPE 135A exhibits excellent compatibility with PVC and other polymers, allowing it to be formulated into various compounds with tailored properties. It can also be blended with other elastomers to further enhance performance characteristics.

Meeting Industry Standards with CPE 135A

The wire and cable industry operates under strict standards set by organizations like IEC, UL, and CSA. CPE 135A plays a key role in helping manufacturers meet these requirements, particularly those related to flame retardancy (e.g., IEC 60332-1, UL 1685) and oil resistance (e.g., ICEA S-66-524). By purchasing and utilizing high-quality CPE 135A, manufacturers can confidently produce cables that comply with these essential safety and performance benchmarks.
