GETILAN GPE/400 Crosspolimeri Polyethylene, Crosslinked

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

Extrusion Notes
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.
