Description
The crosslinking techniques used in processing electrical wire and tubing products has taken on a particular interest in the automotive industry. The main reason for this is wire diameter and insulation thickness continue to decrease, while the quantity of wire being used in the modern automobile continues to increase. In an effort to improve total quality, U.S. automobile manufacturers are requiring that high performance insulation and jacketing material be used in under the hood and high abrasion applications. This paper will discuss the three basic types of crosslinking techniques and their relative effects on product quality and cost.
