What is Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE)? How is it Used?-ce certification h005vv f
Wire and cable can sometimes be confusing, especially when discussing insulation materials. One insulation type is cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), which can be based on either low-density polyethylene (LDPE) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and is used to insulate conductors. XLPE uses a grafted polymer combined with a catalyst to speed up the crosslinking reaction and provide other properties. Several different catalysts can be used with the same graft, depending on the application or specification.
