UV resistant, silane crosslinkable, halogen free, flame-retardant insulation and sheathing compound for flexible single core cables in photovoltaic (PV) systems

This is a silane crosslinkable halogen free flame-retardant polyolefin compound, curable by exposure to moist conditions. The graft component CT-1159, coloured black, is mixed with a crosslinking catalyst masterbatch CM601 generally in the ratio 95:5.

The CT-1159:CM601 system has been developed to meet requirements for cables for PV systems TUV 2 Pfg 1169/08.2007.

Crosslinking or Cure: A satisfactory cure can be obtained either by immersion in hot water or exposure to low pressure steam at a temperature up to 70°C. At the higher 10% addition levels of CM601 catalyst and under the correct conditions a satisfactory cure is possible at ambient temperature and humidity.

Extrusion instructions
Many modern thermoplastic extruders will process the material, although a screw designed to give good homogenisation without excessive shear (which could cause unacceptable increases in melt temperature) should be used.
