Wire and cable are also known as the "arteries" and "nerves" of the national economy. They are essential basic equipment for transmitting electrical energy, transmitting information, and manufacturing various motors, instruments, and meters to achieve electromagnetic energy conversion. They are necessary basic products in the future electrified and information-based society.
The wire and cable industry has a wide variety of products with a wide range of applications, involving industries such as power, construction, communication, and manufacturing, which are closely related to various sectors of the national economy. Especially for rapidly developing countries like China, the huge demand for infrastructure and supporting facilities construction is self-evident.
With the EU issuing the ROHS directive, the research and large-scale adoption of eco-friendly wires and cables has become an international trend. At present, the application of flame-retardant and fire-resistant cables has expanded to many fields both domestically and internationally, such as mining, general rubber sheathed cables, elevator cables, and household appliance cables, all of which have varying degrees of flame-retardant requirements. Key cities such as Beijing and Shanghai have clearly stipulated that the use of polyvinyl chloride is prohibited in important buildings to avoid large amounts of thick smoke and chlorine gas during fires, which can cause more casualties. The use of halogen-free low smoke cross-linked polyolefin insulation has become a local regulation in these areas. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the application of such wires will gradually expand, and green and environmentally friendly products in China's cable industry will become a trend.
