Description
This dataset represents the extrusion process of 1 kg of copper wire core, resulting in the production of 1.19 kg of extruded wire. This dataset should be used together with 1 kg of copper wire core and 0.196 kg of insulation material. The life cycle inventory was compiled from multiple data sources and includes major raw and auxiliary materials, energy consumption, atmospheric emissions, and waterborne emissions associated with the extrusion process. Infrastructure such as manufacturing of production equipment and construction of facilities are excluded from the system boundary of this dataset.
Activity Description
This extrusion process utilizes a screw with a specific shape, rotating within a heated barrel, to advance plastic fed from a hopper, ensuring uniform plasticization. The plastic is then extruded through a die head and molds of various shapes, forming continuous layers of the required profile, which are coated onto the wire core.
Process Description
This dataset represents the production process of extruding wire cores, insulation layers, and shielding materials into wires. The extrusion process for 1 kg of copper wire core produces 1.19 kg of extruded wire. This dataset should be used together with 1 kg of copper wire core and 0.196 kg of insulation material. The main component of the insulation and shielding materials is polyethylene.

Technology comment
Using a screw with a specific shape rotating inside a heated barrel, plastic fed from the hopper is pushed forward, uniformly plasticized, and then extruded through the die head and molds of various shapes, forming a continuous layer of plastic in the desired shape onto the wire core.
