INEOS Wire Cable BP28D780 Ineos Polyolefins Polyethylene, Low Density

Product Description

BP28D780 is a low density polyethylene compound suitable for the thin walled insulation of telephone wires. BP28D780 combines good processability at very high extrusion speeds with excellent mechanical properties, a high resistance to copper catalysed thermal oxidation and excellent resistance to petroleum jelly absorption. The combination of these properties in BP28D780 makes it suitable for use as telephone singles insulation in air spaced and filled cables and in environments subject to high temperatures. BP 28 D780 contains a metal deactivator.
