  • The power must be transmitted through the data line,As a accessories of mobile phones and digital equipments, it seems that the data line is very important. If you use inferior data lines, it will need longer charging time, and make data transmission instable. Also it is easy to break and has other hidden dangers, so we should learn more about data line, including the difference between the PVC and TPE data lines and how to distinguish them.
    Before introducing the TPE data line, let's first understand PVC:
    At present, most of the data lines on the market use PVC material as the outer material. PVC is a relatively low-cost polymer chemical material, which is widely used in data lines, sockets and electrical appliances because of its high hardness and non-flammability. However, users keep a frequent touch with data lines, so if the user uses the PVC material, there will be some severe healthy problems: PVC is added a large amount of additives, such as toxic plasticizer during the artificial synthesis process. These substances will release toxic substances, which will cause irritation to the human skin, and even worse cause harm to the human kidney, liver and so on! Moreover, the unqualified PVC material will release more harmful substances to the human body under the irradiation of high temperature and ultraviolet rays.
    Compared with PVC material, TPE is more reliable. TPE thermoplastic elastomer material has excellent data processing performance, convenient blending for making various brilliant colors. Its convenient processing can make it achieve matte or delicate effect, so that the hand feels smooth and not sticky. The material is safe and non-toxic, smelling no odor, and will not cause any irritation to human skin. Besides, the data line performance of TPE/TPR materials is stable. The flame retardant aspect reaches V0 level. Because of  non-phosphorus and ozone resistance, the reliability of safety and environmental protection, it has already become mainstream in foreign countries. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the data lines produced by foreign large manufacturers such as Apple and Samsung use TPE/TPR elastomer materials. Our factory also has a variety of TPE data lines.
    In addition, how do we distinguish the data lines of PVC and TPE?

    In fact, these two kinds of wires are easily distinguished. Let's look at the PVC lines first. Their texture is relatively hard. Whether it is entangled or stretched out, there is always a feeling of rigidity. Moreover, the surface of the wire is usually not finely finished and looks rough and dull under light. After using it for a period of time, the wire will also have various distortions that look unnatural, and it will not be straight or sloppy.  In addition, a lot of inferior PVC data lines smell like plastic, whose harm is very large, and we must stay away from it. After learning to distinguish PVC data lines, the TPE data lines can be easily distinguished.
