Description
XLPE BLACK is a pre-grafted silane crosslinkable polyethylene compound for low-voltage aerial bundled cable insulation. The material is designed for 0.6/1 kV aerial bundled cables and uses moisture curing to crosslink after extrusion.
What is XLPE BLACK used for?
XLPE BLACK is intended for insulation in low-voltage aerial bundled cables used in outdoor installations. Its design rating is for a continuous conductor temperature of 90°C and a short-circuit temperature of 250°C for 5 seconds, so buyers can assess those stated conditions against their cable design requirements.
The compound contains 2.5% finely dispersed carbon black, which provides UV resistance and supports long-term outdoor durability. Choose this compound when the application is an aerial bundled cable insulation system that aligns with its stated voltage and temperature ratings; confirm suitability for the finished cable design with the technical data sheet.
How do you select and process XLPE BLACK?
XLPE BLACK is a pre-grafted compound, and processing uses a catalyst masterbatch with conventional polyethylene extrusion equipment. Crosslinking occurs through moisture curing, so the production plan needs to account for the required curing process as described in the product documentation.
- Application: Confirm that the cable is a low-voltage aerial bundled cable and that the 0.6/1 kV design matches the intended use.
- Temperature: Compare the stated 90°C continuous conductor temperature and 250°C short-circuit rating for 5 seconds with the cable specification.
- Processing: Check the extrusion and catalyst masterbatch instructions in the technical data sheet before a production trial.
- Outdoor exposure: Consider the compound’s carbon black content and stated UV resistance when evaluating an outdoor insulation application.
Buyers should request the technical data sheet to confirm processing conditions and any product values not stated here, including the figures required for internal material approval. The published information identifies the extrusion equipment type and curing mechanism but does not provide a complete processing schedule.
What documents and samples can buyers request?
Technical documentation helps procurement teams verify the compound against cable specifications, while formulation and production teams can use it to review extrusion and moisture-curing requirements. Ask for the technical data sheet for product and processing information, and request the safety data sheet for handling and safety details.
A sample can be requested for evaluation before a material is approved for production. Share the intended cable application and the documentation needed so the supplier can respond to the specific technical and procurement request.
Revona Chemicals (Revona Kimya Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş.) supplies XLPE BLACK from Istanbul to B2B manufacturers. Contact Revona Chemicals to request the technical data sheet, safety data sheet, a sample or a quotation; the company provides these on request rather than through an online store.
