Polyurethane cables, abbreviated as PUR cable, are halogen free, flame resistant and offer increased mechanical and chemical resistance, making the cables suitable for harsh environments.

In addition to being abrasion resistant, Polyurethane limits the growth of bacteria and microbes which makes the sheathing material particularly suited to use in the food & beverage industry, clean rooms, and complying with the hygiene requirements of production lines. The use of Polyurethane as a sheathing material also maintains the cable's flexibility, with many of the PUR cables having applications requiring frequent or constant flexing, such as drag cables and powerchain cables as used applications such as conveyors, for flexible drum winding cables for festoons and equipment moving machinery, and for control cables for robotics and machine tooling. Polyurethane is not suitable for insulation material - a different low smoke zero halogen compound would be required - but there remains benefits of using PUR over PVC and even tough rubber sheathing. In terms of temperature range, PUR cables can operate between -40oC and +125oC, although the individual cable technical specifications should always be referred to for precise upper and lower limits.

A PUR cable, also known as polyurethane, is a cable with a jacket made of PUR. When a cable rubs against the ground or other surfaces frequently, the chances of wear and tear are high. The cable won't last long, causing the connected devices to lose power. By using a PUR cable, the likelihood of wear and tear is much lower. Additionally, the cable is highly suitable as an extension cord. During use, extension cords almost always rub against the ground. If you intend to use the cable as an extension cord, always choose a bright color. This will make the cable more visible during work. The cable is rarely used in vehicles.
Compared to a normal cable, a PUR cable has many advantages. First of all, the cable is very wear-resistant, which promotes durability. Rapid replacement with a new cable is therefore not necessary. In this way, many cables are saved. In addition, PUR cables are lightweight. This ensures that the cables fall within the ARBO-standards. The cables are also resistant to chemicals and are flexible at low temperatures. And you don't have to worry about high temperatures either. The cable is heat-resistant.
