Product Description
GETILAN is our trade-mark of our crosslinkable polythene.
GETILAN GPE/400 M is a medium density chemically crosslinkable compound for medium voltage power cable insulation.
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.
Where and when anti-copper and anti-ageing functions are required, we suggest our type MAC/100-SCU (Special catalyst).

REACTION BETWEEN GRAFTING AND CATALYST:
These two compounds, separately stored, must be mixed before
starting extrusion in the ratio:
GRAFTING/CATALYST 95/5

Extrusion Notes
Crosslinking of the finished product is obtained by:
  • Immersion of the bobbin in hot water at 85/90°C for two hours (up to 2 mm thickness)
  • Steam treatment at 0.15 bar for 5/6 hours.
  • Air crosslinking at natural temperatures and moisture.
