DOW HFDA-0100 BK is a specially formulated semiconductive, vulcanizable compound designed for conductor shield and bonded insulation shield applications in medium voltage crosslinked polyethylene insulated cables.(1) DOW HFDA-0100 BK has stable volume resistivity characteristics at elevated temperatures and is formulated with a polymer system that has demonstrated compatibility with copper and aluminum conductors.

Specifications:
DOW HFDA-0100 BK is designed for use in power distribution cables. Cables with conductor and insulation shielding of DOW HFDA-0100 BK, prepared using sound commercial fabrication practice, meets the following specifications:

• IEC 60502-02

• BS 7870-4.10

(1) DOW HFDA-0100 BK EXP3 BK is recommended for use in conjunction with DOW cross-linked polyethylene and tree-retardant cross-linked polyethylene compounds. For other polymer insulation such as EPR and EPDM's, the user is cautioned to establish the utility of DOW HFDA-0100 BK with each formulation.
