As data centers continue to expand worldwide, the requirements for cable trunking<\/strong><\/a> systems are becoming more demanding than ever. Traditional PVC cable trunking<\/strong> remains a popular choice because of its cost-effectiveness, flame resistance, and ease of installation. However, some engineers and procurement teams are now exploring advanced material blends such as PVC+ABS<\/strong>, hoping to achieve better impact resistance, improved dimensional stability, enhanced appearance, and higher performance in critical infrastructure environments.<\/p>

This raises an important question:<\/p>

Can a standard PVC extrusion line successfully process high-performance blends like PVC+ABS for cable trunking, or does mixing materials create unacceptable risks such as warping, twisting, shrinkage variation, and dimensional instability?<\/p><\/blockquote>

The answer is more complex than a simple yes or no.<\/p>

As a professional PVC cable trunking manufacturer<\/strong> with more than 20 years of extrusion experience, SW has developed custom formulations for customers across more than 50 countries. We have seen both successful and failed attempts at producing hybrid-material cable trunking<\/strong> systems.<\/p>
