Product Description
BPD3669 is an unstabilised LLDPE copolymer containing hexene-1 as comonomer which, when compounded with suitable additives, is designed for silane crosslinked LV insulation. BPD3669 can be used with silane one step cross-linking processes (Monosil® for example) and with a silane two step crosslinking process (Sioplas® process).

BPD3669 has been developed specifically to provide enhanced crosslinking and extrusion performance, thanks to proprietary process and catalyst associated to specific product design (hexene-1 comonomer).
