Product Description
BPD 2142 is an unstabilised low density polyethylene.
This material, when compounded with suitable additives, is designed for use in silane crosslinking processes. Its melt flow rate allows it to be processed with the two main silane technologies: Monosil (one-step process) and Sioplas (two-step process).
It has been developed for insulation of power cables up to 5 kV.
