Description
This dataset describes the extrusion process for 1 kg of cabled copper wire, resulting in 1.383 kg of extruded outer sheath, which should be used together with 1 kg of cabled copper wire and 0.385 kg of flame-retardant PVC. The primary components of the insulation and shielding materials are polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The data inventory is compiled from multiple sources and includes major raw and auxiliary materials as well as energy consumption in the extrusion process. Infrastructure such as manufacturing of production equipment and factory construction is excluded from the system boundary of this dataset.
Activity Description
This extrusion process directly extrudes plastic sheaths using an extruder according to the different requirements of the cable.
Process Description
The outer sheath is a structural component that protects the insulation of wires and cables from environmental factors. The main functions of the outer sheath are to enhance mechanical strength, chemical resistance, moisture resistance, water resistance, and the ability of cables to prevent wires and cables from burning.
