With the global emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development, the new energy vehicle market is booming. Electric vehicles(EV) as one of the main choices to replace traditional fuel vehicles, with the development of new energy vehicles(NEVS), many cable companies have transformed the charging pile cable and electric vehicle high-voltage wire industry, thus driving the development of TPU elastomers and other cable material companies.

Coupled with the advent of the 5G era, the rapid iteration of smart devices such as mobile phones has likewise led to the expansion of elastomer wires in the related consumer electronics field.

New energy charging pile cables, and consumer electronics field wires on use of materials to the corresponding strict requirements or standards, the current market elastomer materials are common TPE materials, TPU materials, these two materials in the corresponding field have corresponding applications, it can be said that the two both complement each other and compete with each other.

TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) cable compound is a high-performance material that has been widely used in the new energy field due to its excellent properties.TPU cable compound is a polyurethane-based elastomer with high heat, cold, oil, and chemical resistance. It has good electrical insulation properties and mechanical strength, suitable for the manufacture of cables and connecting wires.

TPU cable material in the field of new energy applications:

Charging pile cable: TPU cable material is widely used in the manufacture of charging pile cable. It can withstand high voltage and high current and has good abrasion and corrosion resistance to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the charging pile.

High-voltage lines for electric vehicles: TPU cable material is also used in high-voltage lines for electric vehicles. As electric vehicles need to withstand high voltages and currents, TPU cable compound can provide good insulation and durability, while also adapting to the vibration and temperature changes of the vehicle.

The advantages of TPU cable material in the application of new energy field:

Good electrical insulation properties: TPU cable material has excellent electrical insulation properties, which can effectively isolate the current and reduce the risk of circuit failure.

Heat and cold resistance: TPU cable material can still maintain good performance in high and low-temperature environments and adapt to various climatic conditions.

Corrosion resistance: TPU cable material has good corrosion resistance to oils, chemicals, and some acids and alkalis.

Mechanical strength: TPU cable material has good flexibility and tensile strength, suitable for complex installation environments.

Overall, the application of TPU cable material in the field of new energy has obvious advantages, to meet the demand for high-performance cables for electric vehicles charging piles and other equipment, but there are also some challenges to be overcome, such as improving abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, and surface quality; improving internal and external lubrication, and enhancing the extrusion speed and other processing properties.

SILIKE provides solutions to improve the performance of TPU cable materials for new energy development.

SILIKE silicone additives are based on different resins to ensure optimum compatibility with the thermoplastic. Incorporating SILIKE LYSI series silicone masterbatch significantly improves the material flow, extrusion process, slip surface touch and feel, and creates a synergistic effect with flame-retardant fillers.

They are widely used in LSZH/HFFR wire and cable compounds, silane crossing linking XLPE compounds, TPU wire, TPE wire, Low smoke & low COF PVC compounds. Making wire and cable products eco-friendly, safer, and stronger for better end-use performance.

SILIKE LYSI-409 is a pelletized formulation with 50% ultra-high molecular weight siloxane polymer dispersed in thermoplastic urethanes ( TPU ). It is widely used as an efficient additive for TPU-compatible resin systems to improve the processing properties and surface quality, such as better resin flow ability, mold filling & release, less extruder torque, lower coefficient of friction, and greater mar and abrasion resistance.

The addition of SILIKE LYSI-409 will have different effects with different dosages. When added to TPU cable compounds or similar thermoplastic at 0.2 to 1%, improved processing and flow of the resin is expected, including better mold filling, less extruder torque, internal lubricants, mold release, and faster throughput; At a higher addition level, 2~5%, improved surface properties are expected, including lubricity, slip, lower coefficient of friction and greater mar/scratch and abrasion resistance.

SILIKE LYSI-409 can be used not only for TPU cable compounds, but also for TPU footwear, TPU film, TPU compounds, and other TPU-compatible systems.

SILIKE LYSI series silicone masterbatch may be processed in the same way as the resin carrier on which they are based. It can be used in classical melt blending processes like Single /Twin screw extruders, and injection molding. A physical blend with virgin polymer pellets is recommended.
