NYLON WIRE & CABLE
• Currently used in THHN, THWN
• NM constructions
• Cable tray wire
• Large diameter power cable
• Nylon adopted in early 80’s to improve performance
of existing product
• Provided safer more reliable total wire construction.
WHY NYLON IS USED
• Toughness
• Impact resistance
• Heat resistance
• Weight and size reduction of conductors
• Chemical resistance to grease, oils , hydrocarbons
• Cut-through resistance
• Abrasion resistance

• High Speed Grade
• Used in circuit sizes where high speed
production is used (up to 8000fpm)
• Higher extractable levels.
BX3WQ662X HRV
• Higher viscosity version
• Used in both high and low speed
• Used where increased pressure needed in
extrusion equipment
NX4795
• General Purpose Grade
• Medium Viscosity
• Specialty Lub Package for improved wire pull
capability
REQUIREMENTS TO PROCESS
• Normally tandem extrusion but can use Coextrusion as well
• Wire coating approx .005 in.
• Need standard nylon screw
TANDEM WIRE COATING
• The PVC and nylon extruders are separated- each with it’s
own crosshead.
• A vacuum can utilized to adjust the jacket tightness and
remove outgasses.
• Both PVC and nylon diameters can be monitored and
controlled
CO-EXTRUSION COATING
• The PVC and nylon extruders use one common crosshead.
• A vacuum can utilized to adjust the jacket tightness and
remove outgasses.
• Only finished diameter can be monitored and controlled
• A glass smooth finish can be attained.
REVIEW
• Nylene provides 3 separate nylon grades from wire
coating
• Products are all UL approved for the applications
