Polyvinyl chloride is most preferred plastic coating for the electrical wires. Its main feature that makes it important in electrical application is that it is very durable, economical and easily to assembled. Prime utility of PVC coated wires is that they are commonly used for the insulation of electric wiring. The fact that they are secure from fire makes them popular in the electrical domain. PVC is most ubiquitous, soft and pliable material that is available in variety of operating temperatures with an average up to 90°C. PVC insulated wire is the most basic lead wire that is usually available in UL styles 1007 and 1015, the prior is a 300 volt wire while 1015 is 600 volt wire.
Even copper strip manufacturer make use of PVC coating for reducing heat loss, in addition to this PVC wires have excellent resistance to corrosion are low cost wires as well. The retarded oxidation properties along with the insulating and resilient properties make it an excellent material for costing both the copper and aluminium wires. This coating increases the life span of the wire. Also referred to as hook up wire, PVC coated wire are smaller and are mostly used in indoors. Owing to the reason that for certain applications at times need wire to be more flexible, it is available with different flexibility options.
