What is the difference between PVC wire and silicone wire

1. The difference in material composition.

Silicone wire: Silicone wire uses silicone rubber as insulation material and outer sheath material.
PVC wire: PVC wire uses polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as insulation material and outer sheath material.

 2.The difference in temperature resistance.

Silicone wire: Silicone wire has high temperature resistance and can usually be used in the temperature range of -50 ° C to 180 ° C.
PVC wire: The temperature resistance of PVC wire is relatively low, generally used in the temperature range of -15 ° C to 70 ° C.

Summary: If there are high requirements for the temperature resistance of the wire (such as the need for high temperature resistance of 80℃-180℃), it is recommended to choose silicone wire.

3. The difference in corrosion resistance.

Silicone wire: Silicone wire has good corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of some chemical substances.
PVC wire: PVC wire has relatively poor corrosion resistance to some chemical substances and is vulnerable to damage by chemical substances.

4. The difference in fire resistance.

Silicone wire: Silicone wire has good fire resistance and can maintain a long time insulation effect in a fire.
PVC wire: PVC wire has relatively poor fire resistance and is easy to burn in a fire.

5.The difference between elasticity and softness.

Silicone wire: Silicone wire has good softness and elasticity, and can be used in a larger bending radius.
PVC wire: PVC wire also has a certain softness and elasticity, but it is harder than silicone wire.

6. The difference in cost.

Silicone wire: Silicone wire cost is higher.
PVC wire: The cost of PVC wire is lower.

7. Differences in application fields.

Silicone wire: Silicone wire uses silicone material as insulation material, has good softness and heat resistance, can work in high temperature environment, suitable for high temperature equipment wiring. Widely used in electronics, power, aerospace and other industries.
PVC wire: PVC wire is made of polyvinyl chloride material as an insulating material, which has good electrical and mechanical properties and is suitable for wiring under general conditions. Suitable for household appliances, lighting equipment, computer cable and other general conditions of power transmission.
