THHN/THWN/THWN-2 wire is a versatile thermoplastic-insulated copper or aluminum conductor designed for general-purpose electrical wiring in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Known for its excellent heat, moisture, and flame resistance, this wire is commonly used in conduit systems for branch circuits and feeders. At Zhejiang Zhongjing Wire & Cable Co., Ltd., we manufacture THHN/THWN/THWN-2 wire using high-conductivity annealed copper, coated with a tough polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation and nylon jacket. This construction ensures superior electrical performance, easy pulling through conduit, and long-term durability in harsh environments.
- THHN (Thermoplastic High Heat-resistant Nylon-coated, 75°C Wet Rating)
- THWN-2 (Thermoplastic Heat- and Water-resistant Nylon-Coated, 90°C Wet Rating)
Conductor: Bare copper or tin-plated copper, with optional solid or stranded structures.

Product Advantages
THHN Core feature:
Rated temperature of 90°C (dry environment), but can withstand temperatures dropping to 75°C in humid environments.
THHN-2 Core feature:
Supports a working temperature of 90°C in both dry and humid environments, with stronger oil and water resistance
Moisture- and gasoline-resistant nylon jacket
Available in solid or stranded conductors
Suitable for 600V applications
Color-coded insulation for quick phase identification

Product Application
THHN:
Mainly used for industrial and building wiring in dry environments, such as factory cable trays and commercial building branch circuits.
Typical scenarios: internal wiring of machine tools, lighting systems in dry spaces.
THWN-2:
Preferred for damp/outdoor scenes: underground conduits, oil platforms, and chemical equipment (oil resistant and waterproof).
Directly buried installation (without mechanical damage risk) and UV-resistant outdoor overhead power lines.
