Tecnic simplifies the coloring of TPU cables with its customized special cable coloring solutions. In the past, compounds with different flame retardant grades and colors were used under different flame retardant requirements. The company has managed to simplify and optimize the process, using only one masterbatch for each color.
TPU is the most widely used polymer in specialty cables and has attracted attention for its resistance to friction and its ability to withstand continuous and mechanical movement.
However, in many applications, whether in construction or machinery, fire resistance is a key factor. Demand for more fire-resistant TPU cables has been increasing as fire safety-related restrictions increase.
In order to make TPU flame retardant, it is necessary to add flame retardant fillers, such as white mineral fillers. The more the amount added, the higher the fire resistance. At present, TPU on the market has different flame retardant grades, and different grades show different shades of white. This presents a challenge for cable manufacturers, each grade requiring a specific masterbatch.
In this situation, the company has been developing a single masterbatch that can cover different grades of TPU in the same color. in Delta
In the solution provided by Tecnic, it is not necessary to use specific color plates according to the fire resistance of each compound, but to cover TPU compounds with different flame retardant grades with a single color masterbatch, which simplifies the number of references and unifies the produced cables final color regardless of the degree of flame retardancy required.
Key to this solution are economies of scale and optimization of production. While masterbatches for white TPU require higher volumes to obtain the correct color, a single masterbatch provides manufacturers with cost savings as batch sizes increase and the consolidation of individual production, while also reducing all required material inventory, freeing up working capital and standardizing the color of cables produced by customers.
TPU is becoming more and more important in the cable industry, especially in the charging of electric vehicles, because of its flexibility, high impedance and excellent performance for outdoor use. It is the best material for cables such as charging stations and electric vehicles. This need drives the need for efficient and customized solutions.
