Other characteristics

Brand: EGYLINK
Polymer Name: Polyethylene (unspecified)
Processing Methods: Extrusion
Markets: Electrical & Electronics
Packing: Moisture resistant sacks containing 25 kg.; Boxes with a moisture resistant heat sealed liner containing approximately 600 kg.
Application: EGYLINK GF2100 pre-grafted base must be added with Catalyst CT0461 to promote curing. Catalyst dosage is 5% by weight and blending must be done just before using (2-3 hours). Catalyst doesn't need any pre-drying if stored in dry conditions in the original closed bags; in case, pre-drying can be made at 50-60 ˚C for 4-8 hours.; EGYLINK GF2100/CT0461 is suitable for most equipment for PVC/PE extrusion L/D Ratio >20 & Compression ratio 2 – 3: 1 and Chromium plated extrusion molds As a guide the following temperature profile is recommended (this profile will vary slightly depend on extruder type, head design and output); This product can be crosslinked in ambient temperature, by immersion in hot water or exposure to low pressure steam at 90 - 95 ˚C, the crosslinking time period may be varied due to humidity, temperature, thickness of insulation and reel size.; EGYPLAST designed special type of masterbatch for XLPE application that not alter physical, mechanical and electrical properties, contact EGYPLAST representative for more information.
