Main advantages of promyde PA for THHN, THWN and TFFN cables

Internal and external wiring: Promyde is adaptable for both internal and external wiring, catering to indoor and outdoor use with diverse performance requirements, even in high-pressure and extreme temperature environments, as well as stationary and moving mechanical settings.
UV PROTECTION: Cables with external polyamide jacketing exposed to natural light benefit from increased durability with Promyde B33 L UV HS, UL83 Certified.
Precise Diameter: During the extrusion process, Promyde PA6 ensures consistent wire thickness, even in critical processes like micro and millimeter extrusions.
High Thermal Resistance: PA exhibits excellent thermal resistance, preventing thermal deformation and allowing cables to function effectively across a wide temperature range.
Heat resistance properties: With a melting temperature of 220°C and excellent long-term high-temperature performance, PA 6 is an optimal choice for low-voltage cable sheathing.
Flame Retardance: Promyde PA exhibits flame retardant properties, enhancing cable safety in fire or high-temperature scenarios.
Reduced Coat Thickness: Thanks to its exceptional mechanical properties, Promyde PA6 grades for cable jacketing can be extruded with reduced thickness while maintaining insulation performance. This enables more wires in a conduit or a higher copper content in a single wire.
Flexible properties: Promyde PA6’s flexibility allows cables to bend and adapt to various installation scenarios without compromising their structural integrity, making it ideal for tight spaces and complex cable routing.
Chemical Resistance: PA’s resistance to chemicals and oils ensures that cable jackets remain protected and functional, even in chemically challenging environments.
Self-lubrication properties: Promyde PA6’s self-lubricating properties facilitate the installation of wires, simplifying the cable installation process.
