SACO AEI PEXIDAN® V/T-2 Curable Polyethylene Compound
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE)
Material Notes:	Low Density, Moisture Curable Polyethylene Compound, for Low Voltage Building Wire, Control Cable and Cable Tray Applications (UL Styles SIS, XHH, XHHW, XHHW-2, RHH, RHW, and RHW-2 VW-1). Also CSA listed for RW-90 and CIC (-40C rated). PEXIDAN® V/T-2 is a low density flame-retardant XLPE system curable by moisture and consists of a silane-grafted base compound A-3001 and a catalyst masterbatch CAT-045FR. Mixed and extruded in the proper proportions (50/50), the two components result in a material that is curable by exposure to hot water. PEXIDAN® V/T-2 is halogenated but is RoHS compliant. Information provided by SACO AEI Polymers.
