Webinar Radiation Crosslinking
Radiation crosslinking of Wires & Cables: Benefits, Trends and Opportunities
In the automotive and electrical industries, as well as in infrastructure, radiation crosslinking of cables enables increased durability, reliability and safety of products. The irradiation is ideal for single-core wires and cables, multi-core cables and shielded single-core cables, also with jackets. Watch our webinar recording to learn more about the trends, advantages and possibilities of radiation crosslinking of cables and wires!
upgrade: Improving the properties of insulations
The irradiation of cables and wires is a proven process for improving mechanical, thermal and electrical properties in particular. Targeted treatment with electron irradiation makes the cables and wires more resistant to heat, abrasion and chemical influences. Another significant improvement in properties is that the insulation does not melt and flow at elevated temperatures if the conductor has been heated due to a short circuit or during the soldering process.
Effects of radiation crosslinking: Focus of the webinar
Thermal resistance
Radiation crosslinking improves the temperature resistance and flame resistance. In the webinar we will show you the melting behavior of radiation crosslinked polyethylene and the resistance after a heat shock.
Mechanical resistance
The irradiation of plastics significantly improves their mechanical strength, particularly at high temperatures, as seen in the increased tensile strength of cables and wires. Find out more about these benefits in our upcoming webinar.
Chemical resistance
After irradiation, the resistance to aggressive media and hydrolysis is significantly increased. We will show you the positive effects after irradiation, e.g. that the storage time is significantly longer with higher tensile strength.
