Product Description
GETILAN is our trade-mark of our crosslinkable polythene.
GETILAN GPE/452 BLACK is a high density chemically crosslinkable polythene for insulated aerial cables
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 PSF.
Where and when anti-copper and anti-ageing functions are required, we suggest our type MAC/203 (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:
Crosslinking of the finished product is obtained by:
  • Immersion of the bobbin in hot water at 85/90°C for two hours (up to 3 mm thickness)
  • Steam treatment at 0.15 bar for 5/6 hours.
  • Air crosslinking at natural temperatures and moisture, after a right number of days depending on climatic conditions, is possibile.
