Black HDPE Compound for Cable Jacketing

JAC05 is a black high-density polyethylene (HDPE) compound designed for jacketing and insulation of cables.
It contains 2.5% carbon black for excellent UV resistance, and is stabilized with antioxidants for long-term durability, oil resistance, and environmental stress crack resistance.

JAC05 is a specially formulated HDPE compound used for the sheathing and insulation of power and communication cables.
The compound ensures outstanding weathering resistance, UV stability, termite protection, and mechanical strength under outdoor exposure.
Complies with ASTM D1248 Type III, Class C, Cat.5, Grade J5, IEC 60502 ST7, IEC 60840 ST7, IEC 60708 standards.

Key Features

  • Excellent UV resistance (2.5% carbon black)

  • Termite and oil resistance (UL 1072 Type I & II)

  • Superior ESCR (Environmental Stress Crack Resistance > 5000 h)

  • Low water permeability and weather stability

  • High mechanical strength and flexibility

  • Excellent surface finish during extrusion
