PVC Cable

What is PVC Cable

PVC cable (Polyvinyl Chloride insulated and sheathed cables) are used in a wide variety of applications,  from fixed wiring to flexible installations and are available in a number of sizes, colours and conductor materials due to it’s low cost.

Why KMCable

As PVC is a thermoplastic polymer, PVC properties make it suitable for applications where the cables may be exposed to high or low temperatures (including use of arctic-grade PVC for extreme low conditions), or where protection against UV light is required to avoid degradation. PVC insulation is frequently used owing to its good insulating properties but low corona resistance and is best suited for low and medium-voltage cables and low-frequency insulation requirements.

The benefits of PVC as cable insulation and sheathing material include its chemical stability, robustness and durability.

PVC cables from KMcable are resistant to a wide range of chemicals including oils, acids and alkalis, and are tough, durable, and resistant to abrasion. The addition of various additives can improve its temperature range, typically from -40 to 105°C.
