The coating of metal wires with thermoplastic polymers prolongs life and protects metal wires against environmental degradation. Officine Maccaferri has developed an innovation by substituting flexible PVC with crosslinkable polyethylene. A coating was obtained with a larger operative temperature range, good abrasion resistance and longer life by improving the bond between polymer and metal.
