Glass bead effects on mechanical and tribological properties of the plasticized polyvinyl chloride polymer, which is used for the vehicle's wire and cable insulation, are studied. Glass beads filler is added to the plasticized polyvinyl chloride thermoplastic polymer at ratios of 5, 10, and 20 wt.% by weight in the experimental study. Tensile, hardness, and tribological tests of the plasticized polyvinyl chloride were performed in the study. Tensile strength, tensile modulus, elongation at break, hardness, coefficient of friction, and wear rate values of the glass bead filled plasticized polyvinyl chloride composites were determined for measuring performance. As for the results of the study, the tensile strength, elongation at break, coefficient of friction, and wear rate values decreased while the tensile modulus and hardness values increased with the increase of the glass beads filler content in plasticized polyvinyl chloride composites for use in vehicle’s wire and cable insulation.
