For nearly fifty years, the priciples of electron beam technology have been applied with considerable success as an environmentally favorable and cost-effective alternative to more conventional thermochemical means of cross-linking wire and cable jacketing.

The applications for electron beam cross-linked wire and cable goods are diverse and include:
  • automotive wire
  • aircraft wire
  • hookup wire
  • appliance wire
  • telephone wire
  • power cable
  • Navy shipboard cable
  • battery cable
  • welding cable
    and others...

Comparision of Key Properties of Radiation Cross-linked and Conventional PVC Wire Jacketing Materials


Property
(unit)
PVC EBXL-PVC
Tensile strength (MPa) 15.2 29.6
Elongation (%) 200 170
Solder iron resistance (sec) 1 600
Crush resistance (Kg) 36.3 59.0

 

 

Electron Beam technology produces jacketing with higher cross-link levels and smoother surfaces than other methods!
