PCP (Polychloroprene) offers excellent low temperature resistance, flame resistance, heat resistance, resistance to sunlight, oil and weathering, and abrasion resistance. Owing to its ruggedness, it is used extensively in the mining industry. Other commonly used sheath materials are Chloro-sulphanated Polyethylene and Ethylene Propylene Rubber. Thermoplastic materials include PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) used extensively due to its low cost, high physical strength, adequate oil resistance, good moisture resistance, good flame resistance and excellent resistance to weathering and soil environments. Most commonly used sheath material for LV cables. PE is available in low density in the range 0.91 – 0.925 g/cm3, medium density in the range 0.926 – 0.94 g/cm3, high density in the range 0.941 – 0.965 g/cm3. PE sheaths offer excellent moisture resistance, good physical strength, and good ageing properties. Other commonly used thermoplastic are Chlorinated Polyethylene, Nylon and Thermoplastic elastomers. Sheath Materials Market Outlook – Increasing Demand for Electronics Application to be the Major Market Driver Asia Pacific is expected to be the most potential market for sheath materials manufacturers. Asia Pacific is projected to witness relatively high growth in terms of
