This slide illustrates the benefits of mPPE insulation in more detail. When used on hook-up wire and multi-conductor cable, mPPE results in a smaller and lighter wire or cable. This is possible because mPPE insulation has a superior dielectric strength, allowing a reduced wall thickness to be made possible while still maintaining the same electrical properties. mPPE insulation’s specific gravity of 1.03 is 25% to 50% lower than other insulation materials, such as PVC, FEP and XLPE. Not only does this help with the reduced wall thickness, the low specific gravity enables mPPE insulated wire and cable to be up to 65% lighter than standard PVC. mPPE is also an extremely durable material which provides up to 10x the abrasion resistance of a standard PVC insulation. This is impressive considering the fact that the jacket thickness on mPPE wire and cable is actually considerably thinner than PVC. In addition to these performance benefits, mPPE insulation gets even better, it can be shredded and reused without the need to add in any virgin material, making it 100% recyclable. This assists design engineers in achieving compliance with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and RoHS directives for the elimination of hazardous substances and recyclability.
