Application areas:

This series of products is often used to manufacture high-quality cable materials for high-temperature resistant electronic wires, new energy vehicle cables, charging pile cables, photovoltaic cables, etc.

XLPO (cross-linked polyolefin) is a thermosetting material that includes polymers of various olefin monomers, such as ethylene, propylene, etc., and its performance is improved through the cross-linking process. XLPO material is particularly important in cable insulation because it does not contain halogens and therefore does not release toxic gases when burned, which has significant advantages in terms of safety and environmental protection.

XLPO is related to and different from XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene). XLPE is a type of XLPO, which is a process of transforming the linear molecular structure of polyethylene into a mesh structure through radiation or chemical methods. XLPE has excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance and mechanical properties and is suitable for high-voltage cable insulation. XLPE's heat resistance can not decompose below 300°C, the long-term working temperature can reach 90°C, and the thermal life can reach 40 years. At the same time, XLPE maintains the excellent insulation properties of polyethylene, the insulation resistance is increased, the dielectric loss tangent is very small, and it is not greatly affected by temperature.

XLPO materials are often used for insulators and sheath materials for photovoltaic cables because they do not release toxic gases when exposed to fire, which is crucial to improving the safety of cables. Photovoltaic cables made of XLPO materials can reach a temperature resistance of 250°C, which makes them suitable for applications that require high temperature resistance.

In general, both XLPO and XLPE are high-performance insulation materials that are widely used in cable manufacturing. XLPO is more popular in certain specific applications due to its halogen-free properties, while XLPE is widely used due to its excellent overall performance. Both are cross-linked processes that improve the performance of polyethylene or other polyolefins, but their chemical composition and application areas may differ.
