XLPE Compound for Low / Medium Voltage Cable Insulation

XBC-955 is a high-performance cross-linkable polyethylene (XLPE) compound engineered for low and medium voltage power cable insulation.
It provides excellent tensile strength, elongation, and electrical insulation performance after cross-linking, ensuring long-term reliability under thermal and mechanical stress.

XBC-955 is designed for the insulation of low & medium voltage (LV/MV) cables, offering superior thermal stability, dielectric strength, and mechanical integrity after curing.
It is suitable for moisture-cure, silane, or catalyst-based cross-linking systems and provides a smooth extrusion surface and consistent output on standard PE extrusion lines.

Applications:

  • Low and Medium Voltage Cable Insulation

  • Electrical Power Cables and Conductors

  • Building and Industrial Wire Insulation

Form: Natural Pellets
Process: Extrusion (Moisture / Silane Cross-Linking)

Key Features

  • Excellent mechanical properties after cross-linking

  • High tensile strength and elongation

  • Superior electrical insulation and volume resistivity

  • Good surface finish and extrusion stability

  • Compatible with moisture and silane cross-linking systems
