XLPE FOR LOW VOLTAGE

This is a Low-Density Linear Polyethylene, with UV protection, modified with Vinylsilane, wet cross-linking, recommended for the insulation and coating of potency, command, and power cables to voltages up to 6KV.

It may be used as insulation and coating in Copper or Aluminum conductors, being supplied in the form of a mono-component. The coloration may be performed with the use of concentrates of regular color, low density polyethylene base.

The XPE23 compound contains:

• Additives for superior resistance to thermal oxidation;

• Additives for resistance to UV light;

• Metallic ion neutralizers;

• Additives to allow high production speeds;

CROSS-LINKING
Highly reactive resin / catalyst system, allowing for a quick cross-linking in steam room with saturated vapor (90°C) or heated water (up to 80°C). As a reference, in steam room or heated water, a cable with coating thickness of 0.7mm, nominal section of the conductor up to 2.5 mm², sub-linking up to 3h. A cable with the same coating thickness (0.7mm) and nominal section of the conductor up to 6 mm², sub-linking up to 6h.

In ambient curing (25°C / 55% relative humidity), insulation thickness up to 6.0mm, cross-linking up to 48h.
