What is the characteristics of PVC?

Some of PVC plastic’s most important characteristics include its relatively low price, its resistance to environmental degradation (as well as to chemicals and alkalis), high hardness, and outstanding tensile strength for plastic in the case of rigid PVC.

What is a PVC wire?

PVC wire and cable are where a thermoplastic material called Polyvinyl Chloride also referred to as PVC is used for wire insulation or cable jackets. PVC wires and cables are widely used due to excellent properties such as chemical, heat and water resistance, robustness, durability, and versatility.

What are the benefits of PVC insulated cables?

PVC insulated cables are lightweight in comparison to the other cables and reduce the difficulty in manual operation. It also offers a smaller bending radius to make the installation and storage easy. PVC cables offer better circuiting of the current in comparison to the normal wires and cables.

What is PVC sheathed?

A thermoplastic-sheathed cable (TPS) consists of a toughened outer sheath of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) thermoplastic, covering one or more individual annealed copper conductors, themselves insulated with PVC. This type of wiring is commonly used for residential and light commercial construction in many countries.

How is PVC wire made?

Copper conductor (wire) of the required size is fed into the Extruder where in PVC is coated on the wire to the specified thickness. The extruded wire after passing through the cooling tank is coiled on the take off system. The wire is coiled into the length of 100 meters and tested as per IS specification.

Is PVC a conductor or insulator?

PVC has excellent electrical insulating properties, making it a primary choice for electric cables for residential buildings, vehicles etc.
