A silane grafted crosslinkable polyethylene compound, curable by exposure to moisture, for insulation of power cables and possessing excellent extrudability at high out put rate. PP 408 is based on a high molecular weight polymer and has melt index in the range of 0.5 to 0.8. It has especially developed for low voltage cable insulation and for sheathing purpose. DESCRIPTION : This compound utilizes the system for cross - linking of polyethylene developed by DOW Corning and known as Sioplas. It is a two component system comprising a silylated ethylene polymer known as the graft copolymer PP 408 , and a master batch PP 401 containing a cross - linking catalyst. The two materials normally used in the ratio of 95 parts graft to 5 parts catalyst master batch.

A silane grafted Crosslinkable polyethylene compound, curable by exposure to moisture, for insulation of power cables and possessing excellent extrudability at high output rate. PP 409 has been specially developed for cables up to 72 KV. The special formulation and compounding techniques used ensures that the contamination level is kept within the required limits for this voltage grade. PP 409 has general melt index range of 0.7 - 1.0 which provides firm stability during extrusion, especially for the thick insulations required for high voltage.
