HDPE UV-Stabilized Jacketing Compound

JAC03-UV is a UV-stabilized high-density polyethylene (HDPE) compound designed for cable jacketing.
It provides outstanding UV protection, excellent environmental stress crack resistance, oil resistance, and superior mechanical strength for long-term outdoor cable performance.

JAC03-UV is a natural-colorable HDPE compound with UV stabilizers and antioxidants for enhanced long-term durability.
It offers superior resistance to UV radiation, oil and termite attack, and excellent surface quality during extrusion.
The compound meets ASTM D1248 Type III Class A Category 5 Grade J5, IEC 60502 ST7, IEC 60840 ST7, and IEC 60708 standards.

Key Features

  • Excellent UV resistance and outdoor stability

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

  • Low water permeability

  • Excellent environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR > 5000 h)

  • High tensile strength and elongation

  • Smooth surface extrusion and easy processing
