Wire Etching
Etching is a chemical process that allows wire and cable to be exposed to harsh conditions, like high temperatures or the presence of chemicals. The process involves the wire passing through a sodium bath to create a rough surface on the wire. The etching removes the fluorine from the surface of the wire and then develops double carbon-to-carbon bonds, Carbonyl, Carboxyl, Hydroxyl groups and epoxides.

Benefits of Wire Etching
- Improved toughness
- Enhanced flexibility
- Ability to be exposed to harsh conditions and chemicals
- Withstands high temperatures
The improved toughness of the wire and cable means that you will not have to replace the product as frequently, saving you both money and time.
