Non-lead and heavy-metal-free (HMF) polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compounds present a viable material alternative to vinyl lead-based systems for wire and cable applications. This paper discusses the trend driving the use of these non-lead and HMF materials in applications where there is human contact with the material such as with telephone cord, extension cord, appliance cable and others.
