Polymeric insulation

Polymeric insulation refers to materials made from polymers, like plastics, used to cover and protect electrical wires and cables. These materials prevent electrical currents from escaping or causing shorts, ensuring safety and reliable performance. Common polymers used include PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene). They are lightweight, flexible, resistant to moisture and chemicals, and have good electrical insulating properties. This makes polymeric insulation suitable for a wide range of electrical applications, from household wiring to industrial power systems, helping to safeguard people and equipment from electrical hazards.
