KI XL - 03 is a superior grade of silane pre-grafted low density polyethylene compound. It is designed to be used as insulation of low Voltage Power cable. Keeping in mind the stringent quality requirements, special attentions are paid to maintain dust. free environment during its manufacture. An enriched additive package makes it highly scorch retardant and protects it against heavy metal induced degradation.
KI-XL-03 is to be used in conjunction with KISC, which contains a catalyst to enhance the process of cross-linking in open environment, (no needs of sauna, CV tube or steam bath).
These two components XL-03 & KISC are inert, when stored in a cool & dry place. However when mixed, extruded and exposed to moisture, cross-linking takes place rapidly. The components are therefore to be mixed just before consumption, usually in the ratio of 95 parts of Grafted Polymer (XL-03) to 5 part of Catalyst Master batch (KISC).
Such system allows the compound to be extruded as a normal thermoplastic in a conventional PE (or even PVC) extrusion line. In each case, time of curing is to be optimized as a function of thickness of insulation, concentration of catalyst and atmospheric humidity.
Typical Properties
A) XL-03
B) XL-D3 / KISC Combination
Mixed in proportion of 95:5 and extruded a tape of 1.0 mm thickness. Extruded tape kept in open environment (Relative humidity - 60 -70% & temperature 27 - 30°C) for 24 hrs where cross-linking taking place.
