Ka fao, ge megala e pepentšhwa moyeng, go swana le ka dithanele goba maporogo moo go nyakegago go thibela kgabo, re kgothaletša go šomiša megala ya polyvinyl chloride sheathed.
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) : Sekhwama ka bosona se na le dithoto tša go itima, mafelelo a mabotse kudu a go thibela kgabo, ditshenyagalelo tša fase le go fetofetoga mo go botse. Ka fao, ge megala e bewa ka gare ga diphaephe, e epetšwe thwii ka fase ga mmu, e tletše ka santa ka gare ga mekoti ya megala, goba ge maemo a meetse a ka fase ga lefase a le godimo gomme a dula a nweletše ka meetseng, re kgothaletša go kgetha megala ya polyethylene sheathed!
