PVC Cable Compound Specifications
PVC cable compounds are one of the most critical materials in the electrical and communications industry. Cable performance is directly related to plasticizer selection, stabilizer structure, filler ratio and process parameters.

1. Mechanical Properties
• Flexibility and Impact Resistance
Cable compounds formulated with DOTP or DINP, high flexibility even at low temperatures provides.
• Tensile and Tensile Strength
Theright combination of K-value PVC resin and Ca-Zn stabilizer ensures high tensile strength.
2. Electrical Characteristics
• Insulation
PVC is naturally a good insulator; the ratio of stabilizers and fillers can improve or deteriorate it.
• Dielectric Strength
UL/CE of cable compounds critical for compliance with the standards.
3. Thermal Properties
TOTM/TINTM for high temperature resistance
DOA for low-temperature flexibility
Heat aging resistances are important
4. Flame Retardant (Optional)
Itis provided by combinations of antimony trioxide + chlorinated paraffin + Ca-Zn.
Conclusion
Cable performance, depends on the quality of the additives used in the compound and the correct formulation. The right compound means the right application.
