There are three types of sheathing material generally used in power cables. These are flexible filled Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polyethylene (PE) and halogen free Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) based. These materials provide the cable with different attributes for specific applications. From a cost point of view PVC and PE are very similar whilst EVA does have a significant cost impact.
