What is irradiated wire? Irradiated wire is a new type of furniture construction wire developed and produced using this physical method. It boasts environmental friendliness, safety, and a long lifespan. Irradiated wire exhibits excellent mechanical and physical properties, including excellent resistance to environmental stress cracking and abrasion resistance, and can withstand more concentrated mechanical stress than PVC and PE. So, how does it differ from ordinary wire? Join us to find out.
What is the difference between irradiated wire and ordinary wire?
The biggest difference between irradiated wire and cable and ordinary cables lies in the manufacturing process used.
Irradiation technology involves converting low-voltage industrial-frequency electrical energy into high-frequency energy. This energy is then converted through a specific technique into high-energy, high-current electron beams. An electron accelerator is then used to generate a high-energy electron beam. This high-energy electron beam then bombards the insulation and protective sheath of the wire and cable, altering their molecular structure and recombining them to form a new three-dimensional network, ultimately forming the new cross-linked structure of the cable.
What are the advantages of irradiated wire and cable?
1. After irradiation, the molecular structure of the insulation and protective sheath transforms into a three-dimensional network. This allows for a higher temperature resistance than conventional cables, reaching up to 125°C. The current carrying capacity is increased by 1.2 to 1.6 times, significantly improving the cable's overload resistance.
2. The insulation resistance is higher, making it safer.
3. The service life is longer, and it is environmentally friendly and safe, thanks to the use of halogen-free materials.
4. The cable's strength and elasticity are significantly improved, including increased tensile strength and abrasion resistance.
5. Due to this superior performance, the price is relatively higher.
Irradiated wire appears denser than ordinary wire and feels different to the touch. It feels slender, smoother, and has a sturdy appearance. Its current carrying capacity is greater than that of ordinary wire, making it more environmentally friendly, safer, and longer-lasting. Currently, many demanding electrical appliances, motors, and electromechanical systems use radiated cables. It is more commonly used in home decoration environments because the usage is relatively small. Home use requires higher requirements on quality, environmental protection, service life and other aspects. Choosing this radiant cable is more economical in the long run. Although the initial investment is high, the service life is longer.
