Liquid antioxidants: a new choice for increased cleanliness and productivity in the production of X-linked cable insulation

$15.00

Cleanliness of the insulating material is among the most important quality criteria in the production of XLPE insulated cables. The incorporation of additives is one possible source of contaminants in the insulation and it is therefore crucial that the additive system be of the highest and cleanest quality possible. One potential solution is to use a liquid antioxidant system that may be filtered prior to its incorporation to remove any contaminants.
