EcoWire™ Better Performance, Better for the Environment
EcoWire™ New alternative hook-up wire insulation to PVC-based insulation Non-halogenic and fully recyclable Lighter and thinner than PVC Stronger and more durable than PVC October 22, 2015Confidential: Unauthorized Use Prohibited2
EcoWire™ vs. PVC PVC’s halogen content releases toxic gases and fluids into the environment when burned Many legislative bodies (such as the EU) are attempting to eventually phase out PVC-based plastics Halogens, under normal circumstances, are very stable and present no danger PVC-based hook-up wire is cost-effective and widely available October 22, 2015Confidential: Unauthorized Use Prohibited3
EcoWire™ vs. PVC Newer materials, principally low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) plastics, do not emit dangerous gases or smokes when burned The drawback to LSZH is that it cannot be conveniently recycled and reused Like PVC, LSZH will not safely decompose in a landfill EcoWire’s patented Noryl® insulation contains no halogens and can be fully recycled October 22, 2015Confidential: Unauthorized Use Prohibited4 *Noryl® is a registered trademark of Sabic Innovative Plastics
EcoWire™ vs. PVC Minimized environmental impact EcoWire contains no halogens, phthalates, or heavy metals and meets RoHS and WEEE requirements Better dielectric strength EcoWire has reduced wall thickness while maintaining the same electrical properties as PVC October 22, 2015Confidential: Unauthorized Use Prohibited5 Up to 45% smaller diameter!
EcoWire™ vs. PVC Low specific gravity. The 1.03 specific gravity of EcoWire means it weighs 25% to 40% less than other insulation materials such as PVC, polyethylene, and cross-linked polyethylene Flame resistance Meets UL VW-1 Wide temperature range Meets UL 1581 requirements for operation at 80°C and 105°C Durability EcoWire offers 10x better abrasion and pinch resistance than PVC Recyclable EcoWire’s insulation is thermoplastic and more easily recycled as it does not contain the aforementioned hazardous materials October 22, 2015Confidential: Unauthorized Use Prohibited6
