What Nitrogen Purity Do You Really Need for Power Cable Extrusion? Avoiding Crosslinking Defects

nitrogen purity for cable extrusion

Power cable manufacturing looks, from a distance, like a straightforward process. An conductor passes through an extruder, receives a layer of insulation, and continues down the line for cooling, testing, and spooling. Inside that extruder head, however, the crosslinking of polyethylene into XLPE is a chemically demanding operation. The peroxide compounds that initiate crosslinking decompose […]
