Product Description
LE0592 is a crosslinkable black polyethylene compound, specially designed for bonded semiconductive screen applications.

LE0592 is intended for semiconductive applications in XLPE medium and high voltage cables with rated voltages up to 220 kV.It can be used as inner and outer semicon for bonded constructions and as inner semicon for strippable constructions.

LE0592 meets the applicable requirements as below when processed using sound extrusion practice and testing procedure:
  • AEIC CS7-93 (3rd edition)
  • AEIC CS8-00 (1st edition)
  • BS 6622
  • DIN VDE 0276-620
  • DIN VDE 0276-263
  • HD 620 S1
  • HD 632 S1
  • IEC 60502
  • IEC 60840
  • ISO 1872-E/BA, KHXY, 23-G200, C40
  • NF C33-223
  • NF C33-226
  • UTE C 33-223
  • ICEA S-93-639

LE0592 is a ready-to-use semiconductive compound. The excellent distribution of carbon black and additives in LE0592 would result in an outstanding smooth semiconductive screen.
