DOW ENDURANCE™ DHDA-7708 BK is a thermoplastic semiconductive compound specifically designed for jacketing over medium, high, and extra-high voltage power cables. It combines the excellent physical properties and low moisture vapor transmission normally associated with Dow insulating jacket materials with the conductivity of thermoplastic semiconductive insulation shielding compounds. In medium voltage cable applications, a semiconductive jacket provides cable endurance and prolongs cable life by reducing neutral-to-ground impulse voltage. The semiconductive jacket enables on-reel cable diagnostic analysis in high and extra-high voltage applications.

Compared to conventional thermoplastic semiconductive materials, DOW ENDURANCE™ DHDA-7708 BK offers:
  • Improved environmental stress-crack resistance
  • Improved low-temperature properties
  • Improved thermomechanical properties
  • Reduced adhesion to strippable insulation shields
  • Improved cut-through and abrasion resistance
  • Reduced moisture vapor transmission
Details are shown in Figures 1 to 4

Extrusion instructions
For optimum extrusion results with DOW ENDURANCE™ DHDA-7708 BK, use melt extrusion temperatures in the 425 to 475°F (218 to 246°C) range. Optimum radial resistivity results have been obtained by maximizing the air gap (distance from extrusion die to cooling water). Specific processing conditions can be determined only by trial on individual equipment. Pre-extrusion dehumidified hopper drying for 2 to 4 hours in the range of 155 to 175°F (68 to 80°C) to remove moisture is recommended.
