Borealis Visico™ ME4425/LE4432 Scorch Retardant, Moisture-Crosslinking Polyethylene Compound for Low Voltage Insulation

Visico ME4425/LE4432 is a black, moisture-induced crosslinking polyethylene compound that is designed for use as low voltage wire insulation and jacketing. ME4425 is a medium-density ethylene vinylsilane copolymer that offers improved deformation resistance, toughness and durability over convention low-density ethylene vinylsilane copolymers. The combination of a Visico base material, ME4425, and a tin catalyst masterbatch, LE4432, provides a highly scorch retardant compound with excellent thermal stability. ME4425/LE4432 contains a patented scorch retardant additive (SRA) that increases the processing window for a moisture crosslinking compound and minimizes the tendency for premature crosslinking in the extruder, head or die.LE4424/LE4437 is recommended for use as insulation for low voltage control cables and power cables up to 6 kV in rating.Information provided by the Manufacturer.
