DOW ENDURANCE™ HFDA-0801 BK is a specially formulated semiconductive, vulcanizable compound designed for conductor shield and bonded insulation shield applications in medium and high voltage crosslinked polyethylene insulated cables.(1) DOW ENDURANCE™ HFDA-0801 BK has demonstrated compatibility with copper and aluminum conductors.

DOW ENDURANCE™ HFDA-0801 BK was specifically developed utilizing a special acetylene carbon black to provide a supersmooth surface to achieve best in class performance and yielding a more perfect interface between the extruded shield and the insulation. As a result, significantly improved cable performance can be expected.
