PVC vs. PUR Cable Characteristics
When selecting cables, customers often notice two common material options: PVC and PUR. Many buyers are still unsure what PUR actually is and what advantages it offers compared with PVC cables. So today we will take a closer look at PUR cable materials. In Westlian cable products, PUR cables are usually black, and some are also available in orange. They are halogen-free and feature resistance to oil contamination, abrasion, and welding sparks.
PUR cable is one type of cable construction. PUR materials offer advantages such as oil resistance and wear resistance, while PVC is made from more conventional materials. Over recent years, polyurethane has become increasingly important in the cable industry. Within a certain temperature range, its mechanical properties are similar to rubber, while its combination of thermoplastic behavior and elasticity results in a TPE-like performance profile.
