Greece, an important member of the European Union, will further tighten its comprehensive plastic ban. According to a bill passed last year, from June 1 this year, an environmental tax of 8 euro cents will be levied on products containing PVC in their packaging when selling products. This policy mainly affects plastic bottles marked with PVC. Greece is a developed capitalist country, a member of the European Union and NATO, and the largest economy in the Balkans - its shipping industry, tourism and remittances are the three pillars of foreign exchange income, and its agriculture is developed. According to the act, consumers will pay 8 euro cents for each product containing PVC in the package, plus 10 euro cents for VAT. The amount of expenses shall be clearly indicated in the sales documents before VAT and recorded in the company's accounting books. Businesses must also indicate to consumers in a visible place the name of the project requiring environmental tax and the amount of the fee.

At present, wire and cable industry accounts for a large proportion of the output value of the electrical industry. At present, 90% of the wire and cable products in the market use PVC as the protective layer. The main reason is that PVC wire and cable material has simple, mature process and low cost. It can produce products with different soft hardness and good comprehensive performance. However, PVC is not environmentally friendly. In the formulation process of producing PVC wire and cable material, most of the plasticizers added during production belong to environmental hormones, It affects the development and fertility. There are many restrictive regulations on the use of PVC in the manufacturing materials of European and American children's toys. With the implementation of EU RoHS (a mandatory standard formulated by EU legislation, whose full name is the directive on restricting the use of certain harmful ingredients in electronic and electrical equipment), reach (the abbreviation of EU regulation registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals), environmental protection regulations People attach importance to the environment and life safety. The environmental protection requirements of electronic and living products are becoming higher and higher, and the application of PVC plastics will be more and more restricted. Due to the environmental protection policies at home and abroad, a large number of cable and wire products begin to use environmental protection materials to replace the old and non environmental protection cables. The birth of TPE wire materials and the promotion of the market have also made a qualitative leap in the upgrading of cables and wires, The cable sheath must protect the internal main insulation parts from the impact of climate and moisture in the external environment and physical damage such as friction. In the past few years, TPE is gradually replacing many materials in different cable applications, especially PVC and synthetic rubber materials. With the gradual deepening of TPE application, the requirements of flame retardant requirements with obvious PVC advantages on TPE materials will tend to be normalized. At present, the wire and cable industry has begun to adopt flame retardant TPE, most of which are required to be halogen-free (in view of the toxicity of halogen, halogen-free flame retardants are mostly used in the industry). We believe that with the expansion of the application of TPE materials in the cable industry, the unit price of PVC materials continues to rise, and the performance price ratio advantage of TPE mass production will be more obvious. It can be predicted that the demand for halogen-free flame retardant TPE materials will further increase。

Main advantages of TPE materials

Under the circumstance that the global government gradually strictly controls the environmental protection, how far can PVC go? Perhaps in the next year, it is necessary to take a long-term view from now on. It is clear at a glance that the environmental protection materials are unstoppable. TPE can be expected in the future. In addition to the high price, TPE materials have many advantages:

1. TPE material has high elasticity and rebound shrinkage properties similar to rubber, and is known as the "third generation rubber" material;

2. TPE is a green environmental protection material, and the nozzle material, waste material, old material and even old products can be recycled;

3. TPE wire material has good coloring property, and the color of the wire made is clear, and each kind of wire can be well distinguished (for example, some wires inside the equipment use black and brown DC Circuit Positive wires, and the negative pole of DC circuit often uses blue, etc.);

4. the hardness range is wide, and wire materials with different hardness can be formulated according to the needs of wire and cable enterprises;

5. halogen and flame retardant grade are the most important requirements of the cable and wire industry, and the flame retardant grade of TPE wire material is mostly formed by adding halogen-free flame retardant in the formula. The low smoke, halogen-free and flame retardant cables and wires produced from such composite materials are highly praised in the international market;

6. good weather and temperature resistance, better than the plastic materials used in the past;

7. TPE wire material is easy to process without vulcanization, reducing production cost;

8. TPE wire material has good electrical insulation performance, excellent chemical resistance and UV resistance;

Our company has obtained the UL certification of TPE material wire rod. The specific models are as follows: sje, sjeo, sjeoow, sjew
