PVC COMPOUND TYPE A
about the product
PVC Compound Type-A is a general-purpose thermoplastic insulation material used primarily in electrical wires and cables. It is engineered to deliver excellent flexibility, dielectric strength, and thermal resistance up to 70°C, making it ideal for low-voltage power and control cable applications. Conforming to IS 5831 standards, this compound ensures safe, durable, and cost-effective insulation for a wide range of indoor and outdoor electrical installations.
1. Thermal Properties: Rated for continuous operation at 70 °C; withstands heat aging at 100 °C with minimal degradation .
2. Electrical Insulation: High volume resistivity (10¹⁰–10¹¹ Ω·cm) and strong dielectric strength enhances safety .
3. Flame Resistance: Commonly meets VW‑1 and FT‑2 flame tests; low smoke and HCl emission formulations available
4. Physical/Mechanical: Tensile strength ~20 MPa; elongation 300 %; resistant to abrasion, chemicals, UV, and low temperatures down to –40 °C
1. Insulation for household wires, commercial power cables, pumps, control wiring, flexible industrial cords, telecom and appliance wiring
2. Suited for indoor/outdoor use, submersible equipment, and general-purpose installations under IS/IEC standards
1. Available in pellet or granular form.
2. Supplied in 25 kg standard bags (also available 650–850 kg jumbo bags)
3. Polymer formulations often vary by hardness grade (e.g. 60 A, 70 A) and density ~1.4–1.55 g/cm³
1. Conforms to IS 5831 for Type A insulation; generally used in cables to IS 694/1554 standards
2. UL/VW‑1/FT‑2 flame standards and RoHS/REACH compliance common in export-grade products
3. Internationally comparable to BS 7655, IEC 60811, and ASTM D‑standards for electrical, mechanical, and aging tests .
1. Custom grades like cold-resistant (down to –40 °C or –50 °C), UV/oil-resistant, non‑migrating, FRLS, and low-smoke are available
2. Tailored compounds exist for flexible cords, battery and thermocouple cables, low-voltage armoured/unarmoured cables, signaling and instrumentation wiring
