PRODUCT BULLETIN
Syncure™ XLPE Cross-linkable Polyethylene Formulations
One-graft solutions for wire and cable applications
The Syncure™ XLPE system is a two-step, silane-
grafted, moisture cross-linkable polyethylene
solution for wire and cable jacketing and insulation.
Syncure XLPE formulations allow for two distinct
advantages over regular polyethylene: greatly
improved heat resistance and oil resistance.
