Importance of Coating on Wires and Cables!

The fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is a coating that is added to the long-span cables that are used in supporting bridges. These types of coatings can be of immense help to avoid the disadvantages of steel cables. These disadvantages include sag effect, heavyweight, pronounced fatigue degradation, and serious corrosion damage. The best solution for this is a coating like FRP. The fundamental mechanical properties of FRP cables created on FRP coating lines are static and dynamic, as suggested by the theoretical analyses and experimental studies.

In the process of coating cables, the cable trays play a pivotal role. There are many companies in the manufacturing sector that offer a wide range of high-quality, rust-proof cable trays. These trays are widely demanded in a large number of industries. A cable tray system is a unit or assembly of units or sections as well as associated fittings that create a highly rigid structural system comprehensively utilized to securely fasten or support cables and raceways. Extensively used in the wire and cable industry, these cable trays are used in a large number of lengths and diameters in both the FRP coating line and PTFE Coating line.

Key Properties of FRP coating

●        Long-term survival in severe conditions

●        Adhesion with a wide array of jacket material

●        Longer lengths per spool

●        Low scrap and higher line efficiency

●        High modulus and tensile strength that keeps the fiber strain below 0.25 % during the cable lifespan

●        Available in a wide range of diameters that range from 0.3 mm to 6.0 mm

●        Narrow dimensional tolerance of diameter

●        Minimum Bend Radius that offers flexibility with the right amount of anti-buckling

●        Highly superior long-term aging property.

●        Importance of coating on wire and cables

Wire and cables are a very important part of any electricity framework, be it a commercial setting or a residential one. They should never be compromised on any aspect of coating. It is a coating that provides them with an additional layer of security and safety assurance. On each FRP coating line and PTFE Coating line, cables are made stronger and sturdier.
