Safety Upgrade for Wires and Cables – Vinyl silane Crosslinking Technology Replaces Traditional Peroxide Process

Hits: 71 img

In the fields of building wiring, new energy vehicle charging piles, and rail transit cables, silane cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is gradually replacing traditional peroxide cross-linking processes due to its superior heat resistance, electrical properties, and environmental friendliness. Anhui Aiyota's vinyltrimethoxysilane and vinyltriethoxysilane provide cable manufacturers with efficient cross-linking agent solutions.

Vinylsilane is grafted onto the polyethylene molecular chain under peroxide initiation, forming hydrolyzable silane side chains. After extrusion molding, the cable undergoes a hydrolysis-condensation reaction in warm water or steam, forming a Si-O-Si three-dimensional cross-linked network. This process eliminates the need for high-temperature, high-pressure vulcanization, reducing energy consumption by 40%, and produces no peroxide decomposition byproducts, resulting in cables with less odor and superior electrical performance. The long-term operating temperature has increased from 70℃ to 90℃, and the short-circuit withstand temperature reaches 250℃.

Aiyota vinylsilane is available in both liquid concentrate and masterbatch forms. The liquid product is suitable for one-step processes, while the masterbatch is suitable for two-step processes, ensuring uniform dispersion and precise metering. Our products have passed UL, VDE, CCC and other cable certification systems and are widely used by many leading cable companies. Our technical team can provide grafting process optimization, cross-linking degree control and performance testing services to help customers develop high-performance flame-retardant cables, fire-resistant cables and special cable products.
