Product Description
GETILAN is the trade-mark of our crosslinkable polythene.
GETILAN GPE/400-D GRAFTING is a medium density chemically crosslinkable compound for low voltage power cables insulation andsheathing.
It is a conveniently grafted polythene able to react in presence of
moisture and of catalyst.
We normally suggest our type MAC/100 or MAC/202 red cupper
resistant.
REACTION BETWEEN GRAFTING AND CATALYST:
These two polythenes, separately stored, must be mixed before starting extrusion in the ratio: GRAFTING/CATALYST 95/5

Certify: IEC 502 XLPE

Additional Information
CROSSLINKING:
Crosslinking of the finished product is obtained by:
-Immersion of the bobbin into hot water at 85/90 °C for some hours (up to 3 mm thickness).
-Steam treatment at 0.15 for bar 5/6 hours.
-Faster ambient curing is possible depending from the atmospheric conditions.
No detrimental effects on crosslinking properties and capability of GETILAN in presence of Mastebatch colours, black included.
We suggest to dry masterbatch before using.
