Introducing the sheath for electric vehicle charging cables

The outer sheath layer is the outer protective layer of the charging cable, usually made of wear-resistant, heat-resistant, cold-resistant and other characteristics of the material, can effectively protect the internal conductor from mechanical damage, moisture intrusion and chemical corrosion, to improve the reliability and safety of the cable. Currently the more mainstream is TPU, TPE, PVC, etc..

TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethanes) is thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber. Its characteristics are high strength and good abrasion resistance, which can not be replaced by TPE materials.TPU's abrasion resistance, strength performance is much better than TPE, but the feel is not as good as TPE, at present, the softest hardness of TPU is about to do more than 55A.TPU's main characteristics are wide range of hardness, and with the increase in hardness, the product still maintains good elasticity and abrasion resistance, high mechanical strength, cold resistance, outstanding processing performance, oil resistance, water resistance, mold resistance, good recyclability. Outstanding, good processing performance, oil resistance, water resistance, mold resistance, good recyclability.

TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) is a thermoplastic elastomer, is a class of plastic plastic and rubber elasticity of the special functional materials.TPE has the rubber's high elasticity, high strength, high resilience, but also has the characteristics of injection molding, environmental protection, non-toxic safety, hardness of a wide range of excellent coloring, soft touch, weathering, fatigue and temperature resistance, can be recycled to reduce costs. TPE has a wide range of hardness, excellent coloring, soft touch, weather resistance, fatigue resistance and temperature resistance, and can be recycled to reduce costs.TPE compared to TPU in the high hardness of the loss of elasticity is relatively large. With the growing awareness of environmental protection, the EU RoSH standards and REACH regulations and other relevant environmental regulations have been gradually implemented in the electronic and electrical fields, in many occasions must use thermoplastic flame retardant safe and clean wires and cables, and both plastic and rubber characteristics of the TPE halogen-free flame-retardant cable material has become the focus of research and development.

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a synthetic plastic, PVC material has good weather resistance, can resist the erosion of ultraviolet rays, oxygen and moisture, to extend the service life of the cable, PVC material has good resistance to acid, alkali, grease and other chemicals, can protect the internal conductor of the cable from the external environment. In addition, PVC material also has good insulation and flame retardant, can effectively prevent current leakage and interference, reduce the occurrence of fire accidents, improve the safety and stability of the cable. Moreover, PVC material is easy to process and mold, which can meet the requirements of different cable shapes and improve production efficiency and product quality.

Electric vehicle safety includes three aspects, power battery safety, electric vehicle safety, charging infrastructure safety, high-voltage cables and charging cables are one of the core components of the new energy vehicle safety system.The materials used in OMG's electric vehicle cables are all in line with RoHS 2.0 & REACH environmental standards, and the products are characterized by softness, oil resistance, acid and alkali resistance, abrasion resistance, tensile strength, crush resistance, crack resistance, UV resistance, stable color, good flame retardant properties, and resistance to more than 50,000 times of bending, and so on. Since 2009, OMG' has invested a lot of resources in the independent research and development of new energy electric vehicle conduction products, and the products have obtained international certifications such as European standard, Japanese standard, American standard, Chinese standard, etc. OMG', as a professional cable manufacturer, has always been committed to providing users with safe and reliable electric vehicle cable solutions.
