| Visico" LE4415 / Ambicat" LE4476 is a silane crosslinkable natural compound system designed for insulation of flexible low voltage energy cables. Visico LE4415 is a low-density terpolymer comprised of polyethylene, vinyl silane and a further co-monomer defining the flexibility of the polymer. Ambicat LE4476 is an ambient crosslinking catalyst masterbatch specially designed to be used with Visico base resins. The system is highly active and crosslinks quickly at ambient conditions, in sauna or in hot water. Cable insulation with a proper mixture of Visico LE4415 (95 parts) and Ambicat LE4476 (5 parts) exhibits excellent thermo-oxidative stability. The combination is suitable for both copper and aluminum conductors. Applications: Visico" LE4415/ Ambicat" LE4476 is intended for following applications: Insulation of low voltage energy cables, range up to 6 kV Specifications: Visico" LE4415/ Ambicat" LE4476 is expected to meet the applicable requirements included in the below mentioned standards provided it is processed using sound material handling and processing practices as well as appropriate testing procedures. ASTM D1248 Type I, Class A, Category 4; IEC 60502-1; EN 50290-2-29; NEMA WC 70 / ICEA S-100-685; HD 603 S1; NEMA WC 71 / ICEA S-96-659; HD 604 S1; EN 50620.
The standards referred to above is a selection and is not complete coverage of all applicable standards. Contact your Borealis representative for additional information. Typical characteristics: Visico" LE4415/ Ambicat" LE4476 can be described with following typical characteristics: - Excellent processing properties
The addition of metal soaps and basic (high pH) components, like some fillers, stearates and UV-stabilizers, will deactivate the catalyst and is not suitable together with Ambicat. To prevent deactivation of the catalyst during coloring, Ambicat compatible color masterbatches are needed.
