XLPE Cable Pelletizing Extrusion

What is Cross-Linked polyethylene (XLPE)?

XLPE Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is produced from a cross-linking process of polyethylene (LDPE) resin. The long-chain branched structure of LDPE makes it easy to cross-link and achieve a higher degree of cross-linking, making it the preferred material for high-voltage XLPE power cable insulation.

Applications of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE).

XLPE is widely used in building service piping systems, hydraulic radiant heating and cooling systems, domestic water pipelines and high-voltage cable insulation.It can be used for high-voltage, ultra-high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage cables of 110 kV and above, suitable for grid transmission, offshore wind power, hydropower stations and other fields and some large industrial projects.

Advantages of XLPE Insulation Material:

XLPE insulation offers several advantages over traditional materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

·        Thermal stability: XLPE can withstand high temperatures without deformation, making it suitable for high-pressure applications.

·        Chemical resistance: The cross-linked structure has excellent chemical resistance, ensuring durability in harsh environments.

·        Mechanical strength: XLPE has excellent mechanical properties, including resistance to wear and stress cracking.
