Engineering: Industrial
French term or phrase: gaines d’isolation
Conformément à la directive REACH, nous informons l’utilisateur que ce produit peut contenir une substance dite SVHC, présente à plus de 0.1% (en masse/masse du produit) : le Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) communément utilisé pour la fabrication des câbles et plus précisément comme assouplissant des "gaines d’isolation" en PVC.

Merci en avance... :)

(insulating) jackets (and coats)
Explanation:
Because soft PVC toys have been made for babies for years, there are concerns that these additives leach out of soft toys into the mouths of the children chewing on them. Phthalates mimic human hormones and also affect various life forms including fish and invertebrates adversely. Additionally, adult sex toys have been demonstrated to contain high concentrations of the additives. In January 2006, the European Union placed a ban on six types of phthalate softeners, including DEHP (diethylhexyl phthalate), used in toys. In the U.S. most companies have voluntarily stopped manufacturing PVC toys with DEHP and in 2003 the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) denied a petition for a ban on PVC toys made with an alternative plasticizer, DINP (diisononyl phthalate).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_chloride
Handling of PVC cable containing DEHP exposes workers to levels of DEHP that are lower than those determined to cause harm but if the cables are heated such as by soldering, then much higher exposure levels are possible if no ventilation is used.

Cables and wires
Flexible Protection - Phthalates in Wires and Cables
About 25 per cent of all plasticised PVC is used by the wire, cable and electrical industries.
Plasticised polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the most widely used electrical insulation material in use today. Not only is it the most commonly specified material for protecting wires in the many thousands of different types of machines and appliances that we have come to rely upon in our everyday lives, it is also the preferred insulation for transmission cables and for the very latest fibre optics.
http://www.dehp-facts.com/cables

Approximately 45% of total U.S. consumption of DEHP is for plasticizing various industrial and commercial products. Industrial and commercial uses of DEHP include resilient flooring, wall covering, roofing, aluminum foil coating/ laminating, paper coating, extrudable molds and profiles, electronic component parts and wire and cable coating and jacketing.

See how iCAT-ITS C600 cable is manufactured.

The first step is to coat the bare copper wire. The next step is to twist two wires into one pair. Four pairs of wires are bundled together, along with the dielectric separation. The cable jacket is sprayed onto the conductors. As it passes through the water trough, it is cooled.

Note: As factory inspector I have seen this process, too.
This package can be used to simulate the components of virtually any cable coating extrusion process including co extruded products.

In electrical engineering cables are used to carry electric currents. An optical cable contains one or more optical fibers in a protective jacket that supports the fibers.
:
In building construction, electrical cable jacket material is a potential source of fuel for fires. To limit the spread of fire along cable jacketing, one may use cable coating materials or one may use cables with jacketing that is inherently fire retardant.

  -> Thanks reeny
disagree  Johannes Gleim: insulation sleeves are used to insulate bare wire, not used as insulating coat or jacket for fininshed cables. Proved by Reeny's reference!

cable sheathing/insulation


Explanation:
By varying the phthalate used, cable manufacturers are able to produce a wide range of sheathing for particular applications. Manufacturers can select precisely the degree of flexibility necessary to meet the mechanical requirements of the end application. Road vehicles, for example, need very different wiring to household appliances.

In Australia, DEHP is used in flooring, waterproofing materials, cable sheathing/insulation, PVC labels,
