Does flexible PVC film have good electrical properties?

October 2, 2023January 19, 2016 by Jordan Katz

Does flexible PVC film have good electrical properties? No, mostly because of its low melting point. Electricity generates heat, and you want to keep this material away from elevated temperatures to keep it from melting. For electrical applications, we recommend our Hazy DuraLar™ polyester film products.
