Abstract: One of the biggest challenges in wire insulation industries is the proper governance of its raw materials to form the standardized product. The use of plasticizers has been well investigated and their utilization is very abundant. The ratio of CaCO3, CPW and DOP plays a very important role in determination of the tensile strength of PVC insulation. This paper focuses on the effect of CaCO3, CPW and DOP on the tensile strength of the PVC compounding having PVC resin at hold value of 45%. Unlike other papers this paper enumerates the effect of several components of the mixture simultaneously. The CaCO3 content ranges from 23.50-29.82 %, CPW ranges 8.7-13.04 % and DOP 10.0-15.04 % by weight. The optimum results for Ultimate Tensile Strength came out with 23.52% CaCO3, 13.0% CPW and 14.75% DOP
