Moisture curable wire and cable compounds: A comparison with E-Beam and CV processing

$15.00

The water cure or silane method for the insulation and jacketing of crosslinked electrical wire and cable has been promoted as a low cost alternative to the capital intensive CV and electron beam crosslinking processes. This paper presents many of the factors which a wire and cable manufacturer should consider in evaluating the suitability of water cured materials as a substitute for CV or electron beam crosslinking.
