Product Description

XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) is a material commonly used in cable sheaths. It has good electrical properties, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. 

Here are some of the characteristics and applications of XLPE sheath materials

Heat resistance: XLPE sheath materials can maintain stable performance at higher temperatures and are generally suitable for working temperature environments of 90°C and above.

Chemical resistance: XLPE is resistant to many chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and organic solvents, which makes it suitable for a variety of environmental conditions.

Resistance to environmental stress: XLPE sheath materials are resistant to the effects of ultraviolet rays and ozone and are suitable for outdoor use.

Abrasion resistance: XLPE materials have certain abrasion resistance and are suitable for applications that need to withstand mechanical friction.

Electrical properties: XLPE is an excellent electrical insulation material with high resistivity and good electrical properties, suitable for cable insulation and sheathing.

Environmental protection: Compared with traditional PVC materials, XLPE is more environmentally friendly during production and use, does not contain harmful substances, and produces less toxic gases when burned.

Processing performance: XLPE materials can be processed into cable sheaths through extrusion technology and have good processing performance.

Mechanical protection: XLPE sheath provides additional mechanical protection for the cable to prevent external damage.

Application areas: XLPE sheathed cables are widely used in power transmission, control cables, instrument cables, and environments that require heat and chemical resistance.
