EcoWire™ vs. PVC

• PVC’s halogen content releases toxic gases and fluids into the environment when burned

• Many legislative bodies (such as the EU) are attempting to eventually phase out PVC-based plastics

• Halogens, under normal circumstances, are very stable and present no danger

• PVC-based hook-up wire is cost-effective and widely available

EcoWire™ vs. PVC

• Newer materials, principally low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) plastics, do not emit dangerous gases or smokes when burned

• The drawback to LSZH is that it cannot be conveniently recycled and reused

• Like PVC, LSZH will not safely decompose in a landfill

• EcoWire’s patented Noryl® insulation contains no halogens and can be fully recycled

EcoWire™ vs. PVC

• Minimized environmental impact• EcoWire contains no halogens, phthalates, or heavy

metals and meets RoHS and WEEE requirements

• Better dielectric strength• EcoWire has reduced wall thickness while maintaining

the same electrical properties as PVC

Up to 45% smaller diameter!

EcoWire™ vs. PVC

• Low specific gravity.• The 1.03 specific gravity of EcoWire means it weighs 25%

to 40% less than other insulation materials such as PVC, polyethylene, and cross-linked polyethylene

• Flame resistance• Meets UL VW-1

• Wide temperature range• Meets UL 1581 requirements for operation at 80°C and

105°C

• Durability• EcoWire offers 10x better abrasion and pinch resistance

than PVC

• Recyclable• EcoWire’s insulation is thermoplastic and more easily

recycled as it does not contain the aforementioned hazardous materials
