PVC Cable Compounds Types We Supply

PVC Insulation Compounds

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) insulating compound is mainly used as the primary insulation layer in copper or aluminum conductor cables. It possesses good dielectric strength, volume resistivity, and mechanical properties.

Main features:
  • Stable insulation resistance
  • Smooth surface after extrusion
  • Suitable hardness for easy stripping
  • Good flexibility for small bending radius

Typical applications:
  • Building wires and flexible cords
  • Power cable insulation (300/500 V, 450/750 V and LV cables)
  • Control cable insulation
  • Appliance wires and cords

Common grades can be customized for 70°C and 90°C continuous operating temperature according to different cable standards.

PVC Sheathing Compounds

PVC sheathing compound material is used to process the outer sheath structure of cables to protect the internal insulation and conductors from mechanical damage and environmental influences. When used for sheathing, PVC maintains a certain degree of flexibility while being very strong, and is not easily cracked in harsh environments.

Main features:
  • Good mechanical strength and abrasion resistance; flexible and abrasion resistant without affecting its quality and performance.
  • Stable extrusion performance and glossy appearance.
  • Optional UV resistance and weather resistance, suitable for outdoor environments; sun-resistant and corrosion-resistant.
  • Available in black and a variety of other colors.
Typical Applications
  • Power cable sheathing
  • Control cable and instrumentation cable sheathing
  • Flexible cord sheath for household and industrial use
PVC for power cables

Flame Retardant PVC Cable Compounds

The compounds formed by adding flame retardants to standard PVC polymers, after processing, can be used as insulation or sheathing layers for industrial cables. Flame retardancy is crucial for cables used in buildings, public areas, and industrial facilities. Flame-retardant PVC cable compounds can slow the spread of flames and reduce the risk of fire.

Key Characteristics
  • Flame-retardant additive system, meeting all flame-retardant test requirements in cable standards.
  • Suitable for insulation and sheathing of power cables, control cables, and flexible wires in public and industrial applications.
  • We can supply flame-retardant PVC cable compounds according to customer testing methods and local regulations.

Heat Resistant & Cold Resistant PVC Cable Compounds

Different working environments require different temperature ranges. We provide PVC cable compounds for both higher and lower operating temperatures.

Heat-Resistant PVC Cable Compounds

Designed for higher continuous operating temperatures (e.g., 90°C), heat-resistant PVC offers superior thermal stability and anti-aging properties. It is ideal for use as the sheath or insulation layer of cables intended for use near heat sources or high-current loads.

Cold-Resistant PVC Cable Compounds

Extremely cold temperatures can cause cable sheaths to crack or even the cable to break. In such cases, durable PVC compounds are ideal. They maintain flexibility at lower ambient temperatures, allowing for bending and reducing the risk of cracking during installation in cold climates.
