Why Rubber Insulation Cables Are the Way to Go Compared to Plastic

Rubber Insulation Cables
Overview of Rubber and Plastic Insulation Cables

What Are Rubber Insulation Cables?

Rubber-insulated cables are power cables that use rubber-based materials in their protective layers. You’ll find these made with materials like ethylene propylene rubber, natural rubber, or silicone rubber. Here’s why they work so well: they’re tough enough to survive brutal environments.
Rubber insulation actually shares the stage with other protective materials, such as oil-soaked paper or mineral-based insulation. But here’s the cool part – rubber’s natural ductility gives it an edge. This ductility makes these cables superstars in scenarios demanding both long-term toughness and heat resistance.

What Are Plastic Insulation Cables?

Plastic-insulated cables take a different insulation material – they rely on materials like PVC, polyethylene (PE), or cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) for their protective layers. PVC and polyethylene take the lead here. Manufacturers often create specialized versions too, such as flame-retardant types or low-smoke, halogen-free options for particular scenarios.

Flexibility and Mechanical Strength

One of the advantages about rubber cables is their flexibility. They’re very suitable for places where cables need to twist or move a lot. Silicone rubber, for example, is super stretchy. It can handle constant stress without cracking or falling apart.
Plastic cables are suitable for fixed installation, while rubber cables are suitable for more mobile situations. Rubber cables have good oil resistance, torsion resistance and wear resistance. Plastic cables are easy to process and have good electrical properties. Rubber cables and plastic cables have their own advantages and disadvantages, suitable for different situations.

FAQ

Q: What is rubber insulation cable and how does it differ from plastic one?

A: Rubber insulation cables use materials like ethylene propylene rubber, natural rubber, or silicone rubber as insulating materials. They’re highly flexible and durable for harsh conditions like heat or moisture. Plastic insulation cables use materials like PVC, polyethylene, or XLPE. They are cheaper and good enough for regular home or office use but will not always perform well in harsh environments.

Q: Why are rubber cables best suitable for tropical climates?

A: Rubber cables, especially with ethylene propylene rubber, can resist scorching temperatures without deterioration. They stay firm even for prolonged periods of exposure to heat, thus being well-suitable for application in industrial locations subject to harsh conditions. Plastic cables, like PVC or XLPE, can withstand some heat but degrade earlier in very hot conditions.
