Industrial sheaths become brittle and crack after being exposed to the sun for half a year, leaving the wires exposed. The industrial sheaths' temperature resistance and light transmission were not chosen correctly, so the wire protection is just bare wire.

After being dried in the sun for half a year, it becomes brittle, with the wires exposed outside.

Industrial sheaths are 'components for protecting wires and preventing dust': temperature-resistant, light-transmitting, flexible. The materials should be temperature-resistant, light-transmitting, and flexible — conclusion first: SEBS-based TPE is mainstream for industrial sheaths; for high-temperature sheaths, TPV is preferred.

The biggest pitfall of industrial sheathing: a 10% difference in light transmittance results in a significant difference in grade. A 10% difference in light transmittance leads to a noticeable difference in appearance—light transmittance is the grade line of the sheath.

Industrial sheaths are functional parts: cracking and yellowing are problems. Only with the right material will the cable be stable—functional parts are not the place to save on material costs.

Why use TPE for industrial jackets

Reasons for using TPE for industrial sheathing: can withstand high temperatures, can be made transparent, can be made flexible, high efficiency—together, these four make it suitable for sheathing.

Temperature resistance is key: ambient temperature. Temperature resistance testing should be included in the acceptance criteria—deformation equals a problem.

Translucency cannot be compromised: appearance grade. Include the translucency test in the inspection—if the grade is low, it’s a problem.

Appearance of wire protection temperature, three checkpoints

Cable protection operation: protect the cables. Flexibility data must be tested—cracking indicates a problem.

Temperature working condition: ambient temperature. Temperature resistance data must be tested — deformation is the problem.

Appearance condition: light transmittance grade. The light transmittance data must be checked—if the grade is low, it is a problem.

Table reading: TPV has good temperature and media resistance but is expensive; SEBS has good light transmission — conventional sheath uses SEBS base, high temperature uses TPV.

Select by temperature: high-temperature TPV, conventional SEBS-based.

Sheath inspection: poor light transmission indicates lower quality

Table Reading: Measure light transmission at level 1, grade visible—uneven light transmission and yellowing will directly lower the sheath's appearance.

Light transmission is the grade line for the sheath.

Only look at price, three pits for light leakage

Pit 1: Only look at the price. Light transmission is a notch worse, transparent sheath is misty—light transmission must be tested.

Pit 2: Temperature resistance missed test. Deformation—temperature resistance test, mandatory.

Pit 3: False label for flexibility. Cracking—Flexibility accepted according to actual test.

When choosing industrial sheaths, check for light transmission

Three questions: What temperature resistance is this, what is the light transmittance rate, what standards for flexibility should be met. First inspection: Actual working condition test — Three questions and one inspection, supplier details are clear.

Light transmission verification must come first: measure light transmittance and haze together. Test light transmission first, then discuss price—light transmission is the quality line of the sheath.

Make it a habit to retain samples: keep samples for each batch, retest temperature resistance and light transmission by batch. Compare batch material changes before scaling up — stable batches, few customer complaints.

Mainstream SEBS base TPE, Shore A 70-85, light transmittance difference 10%, grade gap. Transparent sheaths are judged by the purity of the substrate, and light transmittance data is measured by batch—the appearance grade depends on pure materials

SEBS flexible, translucent indoor use, TPV heat-resistant and high-temperature wire protection. Room temperature sheath SEBS, high-temperature wiring TPV—select system by line temperature.

Sheath yellowing and poor weather resistance, first check UV additive system, don't blame the base material. Light-transmitting yellowing means not enough weathering agent is prepared; first test additives before changing materials.

Sheath acceptance: wall thickness uniform, wire diameter matched, oil-resistant soaking three-piece set. Inner diameter is measured by wire diameter, export environmental protection is reported by batch.

Monitor production and adjustment to eliminate swelling, aging for 1000 hours in one go, sheath batch no longer deformation. Each batch retains samples to test light transmission and oil resistance; batch material changes are compared before scaling up.

Sheath should be selected by wire temperature, room temperature SEBS, high-temperature trace TPV. SEBS is flexible and translucent for indoor use, TPV is heat-resistant and protects high-temperature wires. For sheath yellowing, check the UV additive system first and don't blame the substrate; yellowing is due to insufficient weathering agents.

Wall thickness uniformity and wire diameter are tested together as a three-piece set. Inner diameter is checked by wire diameter, export environmental protection is reported by batch, oil resistance soaking test is done for swelling test, and each batch retained sample tests for light transmission and oil resistance.

Inner diameter is tested by wire diameter; export environmental protection tests by batch for batch reporting. Each batch of samples is tested for light transmission plus oil resistance; if the sheath yellows, first check the UV additive system; yellowing is due to insufficient weathering agents.

For sheath yellowing, first check UV additives; don't blame the substrate. Room temperature SEBS high-temperature routing TPV should be selected according to line temperature, wall thickness uniform wire diameter with three-piece set, inner diameter according to wire diameter core, each batch retained for light transmission and oil resistance.

Sheath samples per batch for light transmittance and oil resistance, export environmental protection reported by batch. Yellowing is not a substrate issue; insufficient weathering agent is used. Inner diameter is measured by wire diameter; after swelling testing, material replacement is discussed.

Columbus customer case: insufficient oil resistance swelling and deformation, after 1000 hours of aging

an industrial equipment factory in Ningbo, industrial sheath has insufficient oil resistance and swelling and deformation after oil soaking. Cologne cooperated with on-site production debugging until yield stabilized and swelling was eliminated, passing the 1000h aging test in one go. Production debugging locked in before mass production—oil resistance issues, first look at the formula, then the parameters.

Summary

Selection of industrial sheaths: light transmittance tested first, temperature resistance then tested; a 10% difference in light transmittance means a notch of grade; light transmission is the grade line.

The most troublesome inquiry was: the material hasn't changed, but the parts have issues.

The material really hasn't changed; what has changed are batch, humidity, mold wear, machine, or some item changed to save money. Parameters fluctuate slowly, problems arise overnight.
