Abstract:

Quality wire extrusions can now be made from high density polyethylene. Only the very high molecular weight polymers should be used for this purpose. If these data are compared with published data on other electrical grade plastics, it appears that high density polyethylene insulations have stress cracking and thermal lives which are much superior to other electrical grade plastics. These life properties, while outstanding in themselves, can be further improved by the use of a suitable antioxidant andor channel black. By following the techniques outlined in this paper, it is possible to reduce the processing problems often encountered with these polymers. Author
