Arkema Inc., First Solar Inc., and Nile Polymers Inc. have joined forces on test data confirming that cable ties made with Kynar Flex®PVDF may be an answer to low maintenance in extreme environments.
第一太阳能在太阳能设施维护和运营中的全球领导者，对高性能聚合物制造商Arkema传达了一个定期的替代问题。第一个太阳能在严重的热和化学接触环境中看到尼龙电缆的情况下突破和破裂。拥有超过50年的供应Kynar经验®fluoropolymers in outdoor weathering environments in the form of architectural finishes, corrosive waste piping, and cable jacketing, Arkema recommended that First Solar consider Nile Polymers’ commercially available cable ties made with Kynar Flex®PVDF树脂。
Arkema-First Solar技术服务团队使用大约10,000个Kynar Flex设置户外测试程序®PVDF电缆在南加州南部的第一个太阳能围绕一年，其中尼龙66电缆领带在不到六个月内看到了一些失败。在充满挑战的现场环境中，所有测试的kynar flex®PVDF电缆表现出职业的关系perties similar to a control. In parallel, laboratory accelerated tests involving 4000 hours of Xenon Arc exposure showed little change in the physical and mechanical properties of the Kynar Flex®PVDF samples, while various nylon samples showed a quick deterioration of physical properties over the same time period. In addition, testing under thermal-cycling, damp-heat and freeze-thaw conditions showed no change in the properties of Kynar Flex®PVDF cable ties, while more significant reductions were seen with the nylon (polyamide) cable ties.
替换由于故障导致的电缆关系是原始电缆连接成本的五到十倍。首次建立组件首次使用可能持续整个系统的整体终身可能会产生显着的长期成本节约。首先，在卓越的运营和维护卓越的太阳能设施的追究方面，选择Kynar Flex的选择®PVDF cable ties deserves mention. First Solar plans to continue the testing program to obtain a full assessment on the relative performance of a cable tie made with Kynar Flex®PVDF作为其整体产品耐用性计划的一部分。
