  • 📚 Class is in session! Let’s dive into the world of cable jackets—PVC vs. PUR. Choosing the right material for your industrial cables can dramatically affect performance and longevity. Here’s your quick guide to help you make the right choice! PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Perfect for chemical washdowns, high-temp environments, and rigid installations. With excellent resistance to cleaning chemicals, moisture, and abrasions, PVC is your go-to for food/beverage industries. However, it's not ideal for freezing temperatures or frequent flexing. PUR (Polyurethane) Best for robotic applications and flexible environments with constant bending. PUR is resistant to oils, cutting fluids, and abrasion, and is perfect for automotive and machining industries. Its flexibility shines even in low temperatures! Quick Comparison: 👍PVC: Great for washdowns & chemical resistance 👍PUR: Excellent for flexing & harsh chemicals Choosing the right cable jacket helps maximize your system’s uptime! Need more details?
