物理发泡（Physical foaming）.docVIP

物理发泡（Physical foaming） In the process of communication cable production, solid insulation or chemical foaming process was usually adopted. Beginning in 1980s, physical foaming technology emerged. After many years of improvement and improvement, physical foaming has developed into a fully mature production process. As a mature and reliable process, physical foaming has been fully accepted by the cable market and has been widely used in actual production instead of chemical foaming process. Generally used foam insulation materials, including polyethylene (PE) and fluorine plastic (FEP), can be used for communications cables, data cables, coaxial cables and radio frequency cables. Because of the high degree of foaming, the composition and design of the physical foam production lines are more complex than chemical foams, such as longer extruders and gas injection systems. The main advantages of physical foaming Compared with chemical foaming, the foaming degree of physical foaming can be improved obviously. Taking PE as an example, the highest foaming degree reached by chemical foaming is 50%, and the maximum foaming degree reached by physical foaming is 80%. In the production of cable products different, generally reached the foaming degree is different, for example: the chemical foaming, the highest foaming degree of 40% telephone cable; the physical foaming, the highest foaming degree of 60% telephone cable, the highest foaming degree is 65% in the data cable, the highest foaming degree is 72% ~ 75% with mini the shaft of the cable, the highest foaming degree of 78% coaxial cable, the highest foaming degree is 80% RF cables. At the same time, foaming degree to improve the physical foaming process has many advantages, including: improving the transmission speed and transmission frequency signal, so as to further improve product performance; improve the speed of the production line, reduce the use amount of the copper material and an outer shield insulating material fr
