Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of PVC and TPE data cable materials, which one is more durable?

In today's world where smart devices are always in hand, data cables have long become a necessity of life. The outer material of the data cable in our hands not only affects the user experience, but also affects durability and safety. So, which of the common PVC and TPE material cables is better? Let's take a look with the editor of Huizhou Zhongsuwang.

The advantages and disadvantages of PVC and TPE data cables are as follows:

1. Material comparison

PVC material is composed of polyvinyl chloride resin, plasticizer, etc., which is easy to release harmful gases during production, difficult to degrade after disposal, poor environmental protection, and plasticizers may precipitate after long-term use. It has high hardness, hard feel, easy to leave marks when bent, hardens and cracks after long-term use, and has average wear resistance. The temperature resistance range is narrow, it is easy to soften at high temperature and become brittle at low temperature. However, the raw material cost is low, the process is mature, and the data cable is cheaper.

The data cable of TPE material is mixed with elastomers such as styrene and polyolefin, which is non-toxic, easy to recycle and degrade, and has good environmental protection. It is soft, delicate, elastic, can return to its original shape after bending, is resistant to bending and wear, and has a long service life. It has a wide temperature resistance range, is not easy to deform at high temperatures, and is still soft at low temperatures. However, the raw material and process costs are high, and the price of the data cable is more expensive than that of PVC.

II. Comparison of applicable scenarios

PVC data cable:

Poor durability, easy to damage after long-term use, and weak environmental protection and safety. Low price, suitable for limited budget, low frequency of use or short-term temporary use, such as gift cables, spare cables, etc.

TPE material data cable:

(1) High frequency use: soft and resistant to bending, suitable for mobile phones, tablets and other devices that require frequent plugging and unplugging, winding, reducing the risk of cracking of the outer skin.

(2) Health needs: TPE material is environmentally friendly and non-toxic, suitable for children, pregnant women and other people who are sensitive to safety.

(3) Extreme environment: strong temperature resistance, not easy to deform when used in high temperature or cold areas.

(4) Experience priority: TPE material data cable feels comfortable, is not easy to get tangled when carried, and has a better user experience.

In summary, PVC and TPE materials have their own strengths and weaknesses, and there is no absolute good or bad. If you are looking for a temporary solution with high cost performance, PVC is a practical choice; if you want to obtain a long-term reliable, comfortable and environmentally friendly use experience, TPE wire is more worth investing in. The editor of Zhongsuwang recommends that you make rational choices based on your own needs, so that the data cable can truly "efficiently charge" your life.
