Understanding Polyurethane Copper Magnet Wire

First, basic understanding of the way a magnet works, the next step is to learn all about the copper magnetic wire or magnetic coating that is used for Polyurethane Copper. How this wire works can be explained by first telling you that the metal strip in the center of a magnet has two different sides with the opposite polarity. When these two sides come in contact with each other, a strong attraction and repulsion force is created that is similar to the attraction and repulsion that you feel when you put your hands on a hot stove knob. So what does this all mean?

The attraction and repulsion properties of Polyurethane Copper are what set it apart from all other forms of copper magnetic wire. To understand how this compares to your ordinary hot sale magnet, think about hot sale magnets that typically have a yellow or gold color. Hot sale magnets are typically used as product tags in retail settings to attract customers. The reason they stay on a product is due to the attraction that is created by the hot sale sticker and the promise of a bargain. When you are standing in front of a hot sale item, you cannot help but look at the label to see if it has a magnetic property, and to your amazement - it usually does.

But what if there was another form of this copper wire that had a non-magnetic attribute and which could add to the benefits of a magnetic coating? In recent years, there has been a major push towards using copper alloys in a wide variety of applications. These alloys have created a stir in the market because they have the ability to offer a number of unique advantages. One advantage of these alloys is the ability to create a thin film of super-thin copper foil or wafers. This thin film can be placed over a variety of coatings to create a highly conductive layer that provides superior electrical and acoustic isolation.

One of the advantages of this type of alloys is the increase in manufacturing cost associated with the metal's material properties. This is especially true in industries that require the use of complex coatings. For instance, the production of an auto body requires an extremely thin urethane copper magnet wire at the point of attachment to the vehicle body panel. Without such a thin urethane layer, the vehicle would be susceptible to the degradation of the adhesive and possible disconnection of the vehicle from the trailer. Polyurethane copper magnet wire is not only capable of withstanding this type of harsh environment; it also has superior electrical and acoustic properties that improve the mating process of the two materials together.

Polyurethane copper magnet wire is often coated with an epoxy resin to provide additional strength and protection against abrasion and rusting. These coated wires are often available in both open-ended and enclosed wire designs. Enclosed wire designs are typically used in applications where protection against adverse environmental factors is desired. In addition to providing protection from the elements, these types of coated wires can also prevent heat build-up by conduction of heat within the metallic structure of the coating.

An important feature of this type of coating is that the coating is easily formed with a wide range of different adhesives. Some of the  popular types include epoxy, lithium-based, and solderable coatings. Epoxy resins are the  commonly used in manufacturing applications due to their ability to form a very tight bond to any surface. The ability to form this bond provides a major advantage in that it allows for easy application even in harsh and moist environments. Lithium based polyurethane copper magnet wire is used to improve upon the thermal resistance of enameled copper wire. This coating provides increased electrical conductivity and the ability to resist alkalizing and neutralizing chemicals such as chlorine and hydrochloric acids.

One of the  important factors in determining the proper type of coating is the end use of the wire. Some materials tend to be more suited for specific end uses. It is important to ensure that you are not using an enameled copper wire to power an electronic device that requires a different conductor material. Some commonly used end users of enameled wire include automotive applications such as cigarette lighters, hair dryers, and power tools. The proper metal for these applications tend to be flexible yet corrosion resistant and non-conductive in nature.

Common electrical applications that require the use of these coated wire tend to fall into one of the following three basic categories. There are two different electrical currents utilized with Polyurethane Copper magnet wires, the thermal class and the micro-thin magnet wire. In the thermal class, there is no direct connection between the magnetic source and the coated conductor. This is done via the utilization of an electro-ceramic alloy material with a small amount of reactivity. The micro-thin magnet wire utilizes a very small sized metallic coil that is wrapped around the inside of the copper wire to form the desired resistance and thermal conductivity.
