The individual conductors are insulated with extruded polyvinyl chloride.
This construction provides a product with high dielectric strength as well as
outstanding insulation resistance to ozone, acid, alkalis, alcohol, oil,
gasoline, grease, wax, moisture, and most solvents. It is also tough and
resistant to flame and abrasion.
We generally do not recommended PVC constructions for
applications below -58°F (-50°C) because the PVC compounds stiffen as
temperature declines. Suggested operating range is -15°F to 221°F
(-26°C to 105°C). The insulation on the individual conductors and
jacketing are both color coded to ANSI standards for quick identification of
conductors and calibration.
