Hygroscopicity and Osmosis in Plastics – Are They the Same?
![]()
Hygroscopicity vs. Osmosis in Plastics – What’s the Difference?
Not all plastics absorb moisture! Hygroscopic plastics (e.g., ABS, PA, PET) pull water into their structure, which can cause defects during processing if not dried properly. Non-hygroscopic plastics (PVC, PE) do not absorb moisture but can act as barriers against osmosis.
💡 Key differences:
✔️ Hygroscopicity – water absorption into plastic granules.
✔️ Osmosis – water passing through a material.
✔️ PVC is not hygroscopic but can reduce osmosis. -

Where Are Silicone-Coated Cables Used and Why Are They Essential?
![]()
Silicone-coated cables are used in automotive, aerospace, energy, and medical industries, where high temperatures, moisture, and fire resistance are critical. Their flexibility, UV resistance, and long lifespan make them superior to traditional materials. Unlike PVC, silicone insulation does not degrade under extreme conditions. Is your industry ready to switch to silicone-coated cables? Find out how they improve safety, durability, and efficiency in demanding environments.
