• Electrical wire and cable insulation – PVC with a V-0 UL 94 rating is commonly used for wiring and cabling in buildings to help prevent the spread of fires.

• PVC plumbing pipes – Flame retardant PVC pipes are used for drainage, waste, and vent systems in buildings to meet fire safety codes.

• Construction materials – Flame retardant PVC is used for window frames, roofing membranes, flooring, and other building components where fire resistance is required.

• Medical devices and equipment – Flame retardant PVC tubing, sheets and coatings are used in products like oxygen masks, blood bags and medical appliances that must meet strict safety standards. Flame retardant PVC tubing, sheets and coatings are used in products like oxygen masks, blood bags and medical appliances

• Transportation components – Aviation grade flame retardant PVC is used for insulation, wire sheathing, hoses and other parts in vehicles, trains and aircraft to reduce fire risks.

• Industrial equipment – Flame retardant PVC components like cables, tubing, sheeting and coatings are used in machinery to help prevent the spread of fires.

• Furnishings and textiles – Flame retardant PVC coatings on upholstery fabrics, wall coverings and drapery meet fire safety requirements for use in public spaces.

PVC cable compounds:

• Cable jacketing refers to the outer insulating layer of wire and cable assemblies. It protects and contains the inner conductors and insulation.

• Cable jacketing compounds are typically made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin compounded with various additives to achieve the required properties.compounds

• For electrical cables and wires, flame retardant PVC compounds are needed for the jacketing material to provide fire safety.
