Pexidan® X/T

About
Low density moisture curable polyethylene compound for low voltage building wire applications (UL styles XHHW-2, RHW-2, RHH, SIS, USE-2). ed only when used. PEXIDAN® X/T is halogenated but is RoHS compliant. Also CSA listed for styles RW-90 and RWU-90 (-40°C rated) PEXIDAN® X/T is a low density flame-retardant XLPE system curable by moisture and consists of a silane pre-grafted base compound A-3001 and a flame retardant catalyst masterbatch CAT-005FR. Mixed and extruded in the proper proportions (80:20), the two components result in a material that is curable by exposure to 70-95°C hot water or even ambient moisture. In order to prevent pre-scorching the grafted compound and the catalyst masterbatch must be stored separately and mixed only when used. PEXIDAN®X/T is halogenated but is RoHS compliant.&&
