OREANDA-NEWS. Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. has commercialized the JASO D 611-compliant Ecobeamex 120a AESSX 120°C heat resistant electric wire for automobiles, which is halogen and phosphorus free. Combining electron irradiation cross-linking technology with Furukawa Electric's own new chemical crosslinking technologies, the product conforms to stringent automobile standards at a similar cost to halogen-containing electric wire (based on Furukawa Electric comparisons).

The electrical wire can be used as a halogen-free version of the AESSX electric wire used in the key harnesses and component harnesses of automobiles, and also has application as a PVC-free, plasticizer-free substitute for AVSS, AVSSH and AVSSX electric wires.

To date, Furukawa Electric has developed and commercialized a variety of halogen and phosphorus free electric wires, including 105°C and 125°C-rated UL-standard electric wires that meet strict vertical flame resistance requirements. Moving forward, Furukawa Electric will continue to bring new products to market in the area of halogen-free electric wires requiring high-level expertise in material technologies.
