- The company ensures the homogeneity of colour, the maintenance of high transmission capacities even in humid environments and the dielectric properties of the cables for photovoltaic installations, as well as protection against external agents such as rodents and/or termites.
- With the increase in installed capacity of this type of energy, the share of renewables reached a new all-time high of around 47%, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).
July 26th of July of 2022 — Delta Tecnic, a multinational company specialising in the production of masterbatch solutions for the cable and PVC industry, is consolidating its position as a key partner for companies with CO₂ emission reduction targets for 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050. The company is driving the energy transition to renewable sources through a range of masterbatches that meet the needs of electrical cable manufacturers.
The commitment to wind and photovoltaic energy is growing. In 2021, with the increase in the installed capacity of this type of energy, the share of renewables reached a new historic high, close to 47%, while coal accounted for less than 2%, according to the latest data from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
Delta Tecnic, which has been contributing to the evolution of the energy industry for forty years, produces masterbatches that are used for the colouring of all these electrical cables, using a selection of pigments that guarantee their dielectric properties. By carefully studying its raw materials, Delta Tecnic is able to offer power and fibre optic cable manufacturers excellent colour homogeneity, maintenance of high transmission capacities and flame retardant properties.
Weather-resistant electrical cables
Throughout its history, Delta Tecnic has studied the behaviour of pigments under the effects of weathering, carrying out accelerated tests with the materials most commonly used by the cable industry. Thanks to this knowledge, the company develops masterbatches for use in the installation of photovoltaic panels and in the transport of energy to cities.
In this context, the company remains committed to sustainability and environmental improvement. It does so through its colour and cable sheathing solutions for the renewable energy industry by taking into account the protection against degradation of polymers exposed to the sun and the consequent long-term discolouration. The pigments used in its formulations have high lightfastness and defence against weathering (external conditions such as temperature and humidity).

Expertise in photovoltaic cables to meet demand
Currently, the global solar cable market size targets $1502 million by 2026, with a compound annual growth rate of 13.9% from 2021, according to a study by Expert Market Research. Delta Tecnic is ready to meet the demand for these cables and provide all the necessary properties. Cable tests conducted by the company's customers are have been successfully passed with mechanical strength values after ageing well above the 70% required by regulations.
