In June 2025, Brunei successfully completed the installation of an 80km+ 66kV high-voltage land cable system. Notably, the high-quality nylon 12-sheathed cables—produced by a leading Chinese cable manufacturer—used core raw materials exclusively from Wanhua Chemical’s Wanamid® Nylon 12 range. This project not only marks a breakthrough for Wanhua’s high-end materials in key overseas projects, but also stands as strong proof of "Made in China" advancing to "Created in China" and Chinese new materials gaining international recognition.
Power and data transmission are the "lifeblood" of modern society, with cables as their core carriers. Cable sheaths act as "protective armor", critical to ensuring stable operation, extending service life, and safeguarding personnel and equipment. Choosing high-performance sheath materials is thus fundamental to reliable power transmission.
Wanhua’s Wanamid® Nylon 12 cable sheath material delivers robust protection via its key "five-layer defense" properties:
Superior wear & scratch resistance: Shields against friction/drag damage during installation and use, boosting cable longevity.
Strong chemical resistance: Blocks oil, acid, alkali, and salt spray erosion, enabling stable operation in harsh industrial/outdoor environments.
Excellent weather & temperature tolerance: Maintains flexibility and strength from -40°C to 100°C, preventing hardening, brittleness, or softening due to extreme temperatures.
Eco-friendly anti-rodent/termite protection: Effectively stops cable damage from gnawing.
Reliable electrical insulation: Provides strong insulation to isolate current, reducing leakage and short-circuit risks.
Beyond supplying high-performance materials, Wanhua focuses on value cocreation. Leveraging its professional CAE/CMF teams and deep technical expertise, it offers customers tailored value-added services—including mold flow analysis, structural stress analysis, and aesthetic color matching—to unlock the full potential of materials like nylon 12 and maximize product value.
As 5G, IoT, and AI integrate deeper with the power sector, and with growing emphasis on sustainability, cable sheath materials are accelerating toward smarter, higher-performance, and greener solutions. Wanhua’s Wanamid® Nylon 12, with its exceptional properties, will continue to serve as a solid material foundation for building safer, more reliable, and greener global power and communication networks.
