The Product Development Team at Alpha Wire is pleased to announce our new line of hook-up wire: EcoWire. EcoWire uses a flexible modified polyphenylene ether thermoplastic insulation called Noryl, a compound developed by GE Plastics (now Sabic IP). Noryl insulation possesses many superior performance qualities to standard PVC, including advanced durability, lighter weight and a smaller diameter. In addition, Noryl contains no halogens, phthalates or heavy metals and is much more easily recyclable. With increased focus on green products and technology, EcoWire’s innovative design and features can propel us to the forefront of this trend.

OVERVIEW

mPPE Insulation: All the Advantages in Smaller, Lighter Wire
Environmentally friendly EcoWire contains no halogens, phthalates, or heavy metals. It meets RoHS and WEEE requirements for the elimination of hazardous substances and recyclability.

Better dielectric strength
The superior dielectric properties of mPPE make possible a reduced wall thickness while maintaining the same electrical properties as PVC. EcoWire’s diameter is up to 45% smaller than equivalent wires.

Low specific gravity
The 1.03 specific gravity of mPPE is 25% to 40% lower than other insulation materials, such as PVC, polyethylene, and cross-linked polyethylene. Along with the reduced wall thickness, the low specific gravity yields significant weight savings of up to 40%.

Durability
Even with thinner walls, EcoWire’s insulation offers 10x better abrasion and pinch resistance to PVC-based wire. Although thinner, the insulation is tougher.

Good temperature range
Wire and cable with mPPE insulation meet UL 1581 requirements for operation up to 105°C end-use temperature rating. With a wide temperature range, mPPE does not require such secondary processing operations as is required with cross-linked polyethylene.

Recyclable
EcoWire’s mPPE thermoplastic insulation is more easily recycled as it does not contain hazardous materials.
