3H Vinacom XLPE compound 3H VINACOM HA-5010

3H Vinacom XLPE compound 3H VINACOM HA-5010 is a silane cross-linkable polyethylene compound for low voltage electrical wire and cable insulation. Both the grafting and wire coating process are performed in one single step in the usual wire and cable production extruder for polyethylene and cross-linking takes place through a reaction involving water vapor after being extruded. Difficulty in maintaining dimensional accuracy during cross-linking is avoided because the temperature of cross-linking is below the crystalline melting point of the polymer. Therefore, 3H VINACOM XLPE HA-5010 allow cross-linked polyethylene wire and cable without the need for much capital in special equipment like peroxide or radiation cross-linking.

    There are various types of machines and screw type, the end users are advised to determine the optimum processing conditions by themselves.

    • For preventing long run and procuring (scorch), it must maintain the temperature of feeding zone lowly.
    • For producing XLPE cable of good quality, it must keep the temperature after Metering Zone.
    • Use a gas flame (torch lamp) in front of extrusion die. If the gas flame is not use then the surface of the cable will be rough.

     

    EXTRUSION EQUIPMENT :
    • Extruder :
      •  Conventional PE/PVC single screw extruder
      •  L/D: 18/1 - 26/1 (22/1 -  24/1). Compression ratio:  3:1 - 3.5:1
    • Screen pack :
      •  30/60/30 mesh
      •  It is better to avoid using a fine screen (>80)
    • Gas flame :
      •  Remove the die drool (die build- up)
      •  Improve the surface finish
      •  Reduce shrinkage
    • Pressure die :
      •  Melt comes out of the extruder with the same speed as the passing conductor
    • Tube die :
      •  Has a larger diameter than pressure die
      •  The smallest possible draw down (2:1) is recommended to avoid internal stresses → minimize shrinkage.
    • Die land :
      • The longer the die land, the lesser the shrinkage and die swell.
      • Allow the extruder to relax and reduce its thermal memory created by the material passing through the die head
