Recent Developments in Ethylene-Propylene Polymers for Wire and Cable Applications

摘要

In the course of factory trials and laboratory research programs a number of important observations have been made which could influence the processibility and performance of EPM applications. The purpose of this paper is to bring these to your attention for consideration. In addition, this paper will introduce new technology which has been developed for ethylene-propylene terpolymers (designated EPDM by ASTM) especially for low voltage and jacketing applications. These are a low Mooney type of excellent processing suitable for mineral filled insulations and a high Mooney type best suited for jacketing applications. (Author)
