The jacket material is a key factor when looking for the right cables and wires. The outer jacket performs a multitude of functions that ensure the durability, safety and performance of the cable or wire. Users must often choose between polyurethane (PUR) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). In HELUKABEL’s new white paper “PUR or PVC”, you will learn about the different properties of these two materials, and which applications they are best suited for. This white paper is available immediately to download for free.
