OnCap™ Dry Silane Additives for Wire & Cable
If you need to crosslink polymers for wire and cable applications, please consider dry silane technology from PolyOne. Our OnCap™ dry silane additive formulations deliver both processing and product performance benefits.
Processing advantages include:
- Easy-to-use
- Cost effective
- Low capital investment
- Uniform cross-linking
- Flexible; can be used with cross-linkable and standard thermoplastics on same line
And your end product also will see improvements too, such as:
- Increased operating temperature limits
- Improvements in mechanical properties, plus better resistance to oil and Abrasion
Dry silane formulations can be a cost-effective alternative to grafted compounds and other crosslinking techologies, and are more effective than peroxide crosslinking for manufacturing low voltage cable at high output.
Dry silane technology is a two-component formulation consisting of a silane mixture in a porous polyolefin carrier. The technology adds value to many of the materials used in manufacturing wire and cable, including:
- LLDPE
- LDPE
- HDPE
- MDPE
- EVA
- ECCOH™ LSFOH solutions
