There is a growing interest in environmental safety protection throughout the electronic industry. A lot of work has been done over the last few years to produce materials there are kinder to the environment.
This has been achieved to a large extent with the protection of electronic cables. A few environmentally-friendly materials that don’t contain leads or halogens are now used.
As these wires don’t contain lead, there is no environmental pollution caused as a result of lead elution. As these contain no halogen, there is a great reduction of harmful matter produced when the material is thrown away.
Among the most popular type of halogen-free wires are polyurethane (PUR) wires. This material has several other qualities that makes it a great choice for wire insulation.
What is Polyurethane (PUR)?
From extremely low or high temperatures, polyurethane is known for its extreme toughness, flexibility, and flex life. Because of the excellent ratings for chemical, water, and abrasion resistance, this material works well in retractile cord applications and can be a good option for salt-spray and low-temperature military purposes.
