LLDPE with enhanced properties for:

• Crosslinked low voltage cable insulation

• Base resin for high performance cable jacketing

1. LLDPE with enhanced properties for crosslinked low voltage cable insulation

Applications
BPD3642 is a LLDPE copolymer containing hexene-1 as comonomer which, when compounded with suitable additives, is designed for silane crosslinked LV insulation. BPD3642 can be used in a silane one step crosslinking process (Monosil® for example) and in a silane two step crosslinking process (Sioplas® process).

BPD3642 has been developed specifically to provide enhanced crosslinking and extrusion performances, thanks to proprietary process and catalyst and fit for purpose product design.

Physical properties of crosslinked compound as cable
BPD3642, when grafted in the laboratory with 0.8 % of a suitable silane/peroxide mixture and 0.05 % of a tin condensation catalyst, typically gives the following results on a 1.5 mm² cable after curing 2h in water at 80°C

2. LLDPE with enhanced properties for high performance cable jacketing

Applications
BPD3642 is a LLDPE which, when compounded with suitable additives, is designed for jacketing of cables, especially power cables.
BPD3642 combines an enhanced environmental stress cracking resistance to excellent mechanical properties.
