PEXIDAN® U/T

Technical Datasheet | Supplied by SACO AEI Polymers

PEXIDAN® U/T by SACO AEI Polymers is a low density, moisture curable XLPE system. It consists of a silane pre-grafted base compound A-3001 and a catalyst masterbatch CAT-008. When mixed and extruded in the proper proportions (95/5), it results in a material curable by exposure to 70-95°C hot water or even ambient moisture. It is suggested for low voltage underground service entrance cables including UL styles USE/ USE-2 and Secondary URD as well as medium voltage XLPE jacket applications. PEXIDAN® U/T complies with RoHS.
