UL/CSA Styles

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

Insulated wires are manufactured with stranded and solid conductors in 80°, 90°, and 105°C rated temperatures at 300 and 600 volts. This jacket material is easily colored for coding and is widely used for electronic equipment, meters, control panels, appliances, lighting fixtures, HVAC equipment, and many other products. Most commonly this wire is used as AWM (Appliance Wire Material), MTW (Machine Tool Wire), or TEW (Thermal Equipment Wire). Additionally, all PVC wires will pass the VW-1 flame test. Appliance Wiring Material is both an Underwriters Laboratories and Canadian Standards Association classification for insulated wire and cable used for the internal wiring of appliance and equipment. Machine Tool Wire is classified by Underwriters Laboratories for use in industrial machines exposed to oil, coolants, or other liquids. Thermal Equipment Wire is a Canadian Standards Association designation differing from CSA AWM in the approval for both internal and external applications

FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene)

FEP wire is a single conductor lead wire with resistance to moisture and fluid. The extruded fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) insulation allow the diameter to be 20-30% smaller than conventional wire. FEP offers optimum insulation for smaller applications at half the space of other constructions. FEP meets FDA Code 121.2555 requirements for appliances and machines used in food-contact applications. It is impervious to most chemicals, acids, fuels, solvents and water. Mechanical toughness and low coefficient of fricition allow pull installation of long wire lengths.
