The Differences between PVC, PE and XLPE materials

PVC: Polyvinyl chloride, formed by the free polymerization of vinyl chloride monomers under specific conditions, is widely used in building materials, daily necessities, pipelines, wires and cables, sealing materials, etc. It is flame retardant, but its working temperature is low, and it contains halogen.

PE: Polyethylene is a thermoplastic resin obtained by the polymerization of ethylene. It is non-toxic and harmless, has excellent low temperature resistance and good insulation performance. Since it has high electrical conductivity, it is generally used as an insulating material for high-voltage wires and cables.

XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) is an advanced form of polyethylene after special treatment. Its physical and chemical properties have been greatly improved compared with PE. It has good performance in high temperature resistance and environmental resistance. It is often used in electronic wires and places where the requirements for operating environment is high.
