Benefits of Using PVC Powder in Optical Cable Trays

Introduction to Optical Cable Trays

Optical cable trays are essential components in modern infrastructure for managing and protecting cables. The material and production methods used in making these trays significantly impact their performance and durability. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of producing optical cable trays directly from PVC powder, as opposed to traditional methods that use PVC particles.

Material and Craft-Work

Our optical cable trays are produced using high-quality PVC powder. This method eliminates an additional processing step that is typically required when using PVC particles. Traditional plastic profiles are made from PVC particles and produced using a single-screw extruder. In contrast, our trays are made from PVC powder and produced using a double-screw extruder, which results in better plasticization and overall quality.

The double-screw extrusion process ensures that the PVC powder is evenly melted and mixed, leading to a more uniform and durable final product. This method not only enhances the structural integrity of the optical cable trays but also improves their resistance to environmental factors.

Structure and Application

The shape and structure of our optical cable trays are designed to meet various application needs. Whether used in residential, commercial, or industrial settings, these trays provide robust support and protection for optical cables. The trays are available in different shapes and sizes, making them versatile for various installation requirements.

Due to their superior plasticization and quality, our PVC powder-based trays offer enhanced performance in terms of both mechanical strength and longevity. They are particularly suitable for environments where high impact resistance and climate resistance are crucial.

Environmental and Physical Resistance

One of the key advantages of using PVC powder in the production of optical cable trays is their improved environmental and physical resistance. These trays exhibit high impact resistance, climate resistance, and durability against various environmental conditions. They are also resistant to chemicals and UV radiation, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.

The use of materials such as PA, PVC, ABS, PE, PP, and UHMWPE in the production process further enhances the trays' performance. These materials are known for their high strength and resistance to environmental stress, ensuring that the optical cable trays remain functional and reliable over time.

In conclusion, the use of PVC powder in the production of optical cable trays offers numerous benefits, including better plasticization, improved quality, and enhanced environmental and physical resistance. By leveraging advanced extrusion and co-extrusion techniques, our trays provide superior performance and durability, making them an excellent choice for a wide range of applications.
