Reasons for Blackening of Rubber Cable Glue and Copper Wire
Some manufacturers use ordinary copper in the production of rubber sheathed cables , because copper itself is not oxygen-free copper, and the surface of the copper wire will inevitably be oxidized during processing. Due to the processing of the copper rod, especially the mastery of the toughening process, and the poor storage conditions of the processed copper wire core, the copper wire core itself is slightly oxidized. This is also one of the reasons for the blackening of copper. The insulation of rubber cables is formulated from natural rubber and styrene-butadiene rubber. Since the insulating rubber is in direct contact with the copper wire, sulfur cannot be directly used as a vulcanizing agent, and even a small amount of sulfur will make the copper wire black. Some compounds that can decompose free sulfur must be used, such as accelerator TMTD, and vulcanizing agent VA-7. It is also necessary to use some vulcanization accelerators to increase the vulcanization rate and deg...
