In the world of power cables, the choice of insulation material plays a critical role. It determines the cable’s long-term reliability, performance, and sustainability. While traditional materials like XLPE and EPR have long been the industry standard, a new solution is gaining momentum. Polypropylene (PP) is not only a viable alternative but also a technology that redefines what insulation can achieve.
In this blog Christine is elaborating what is Premix’s role in the power cable market and how could an independent compounder become a successful new player in such a conservative industry dominated by polymer producers and cable manufacturers?
New Premix AI platform to speed up the product development process
In the manufacturing industry, sustainability is a popular topic—but often a distant reality. While corporate ESG goals point in the right direction, everyday decisions such as procurement criteria are still dominated by one driver: cost.
A Q&A with Niko Merivirta, Quality Manager & Lean Six Sigma Black Belt at Premix
Sustainability at Premix - introducing our 2024 ESG Report.
Leading cable manufacturers set targets like reducing CO2 emissions and boosting energy efficiency, requiring precise data from the supply chain.
The year 2021 was, among other things, a year of data. Looking at the scope and quality of the information we nowadays have at an arm's reach, it isn't easy to imagine how we ever managed to live without it. Here is a summary of our "datachievements" up to this point.
This article discusses the processing and use of Premix’s electrically conductive plastics in the injection molding process. The electrically conductive PRE-ELEC® grades can be successfully molded with normal processing equipment. However, the processing conditions require particular attention due to their significant effect on the resistivity of the molded product.
This article covers some fundamentals, practical tips, and pitfalls related to the resistance and resistivity measurements of electrically conductive plastics. To achieve the most precise outcome, it is essential that you understand the basic measurement procedure and the key factors causing uncertainties in measurements. In this way, the probability of errors will be decreased, and analyzing the outcome of the measurement will be easier.
