Laboratory Analysis Results by Enamel / Wire Types
Elektrisola Wire Types are subject to independent laboratory analysis for hazardous materials repeatedly. The test results prove the environmental compatibility of Elektrisola products.
For selfbondig wire types the laboratory analysis results include all components, i.e. conductor material, base enamel and selfbonding enamel in one certificate:
- for AB-, ABP- and CBP-series (butybond selfbonding wire)
- for FS-, FSP-, HS-, HSP- and MSP-series (solabond selfbonding wire)
- for RTP-, VT-, TT- and TTI-series (thermobond selfbonding wire)
For other wire types the laboratory analysis results are composed of the results for the conductor material and the results for the base enamel and a top coat where applicable:
Conductor:
- for bare copper wire
Base enamel:
- for P155, P155b, P155p, Pg155, Pp155, P180, G155, G155p, G170, G180 (polyurethane-based insulation varnish)
- for E180, A200 (polyesterimide-based insulation varnish)
- for I220 (polyamideimide-based insulation varnish)
Top coat:
- for PN155, PN180, EN180 (polyamide-based insulation varnish)
- for AI210 (polyamideimide-based insulation varnish)
REACH Correspondance Certified by Plants
Although enamelled wire is not required to be listed by REACH, the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use, all Elektrisola plants certify, that their enamelled wire products contain less than 0.1% of the Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) published by ECHA, the European Chemical Agency .
