Tough and flexible protection? We can link you up.

Low-voltage (LV) lines, over your head and under your feet, bring power to residential and commercial buildings. These low voltage wires and cables need to be protected with materials that can perform over the long haul in rough conditions. Rugged, dependable insulation, combined with flexibility to allow easier installation. It’s a tough job, but we think we can help.

Discover our compounds for low voltage cables below. These proven systems result in high-quality, durable LV insulation that maintains flexibility while offering:

Toughness – with stress-crack and abrasion resistance

Excellent surface appearance

Enhanced flame retardant (FR), ultraviolet light-resistant (UV), and photovoltaic (PV) capabilities

Easy handling

Use in all moisture-cure extrusion technologies

Improved productivity and high output rates

Long production run lengths and reduced scrap on start-up and during production

Long storage periods

Compliance with a wide range of global standards(1)

SI-LINK™ Moisture-Curable Compounds 

SI-LINK™ Moisture-Curable Compounds are specifically designed to produce insulation and jacketing for high-performance LV cables. They are produced using proprietary reactor copolymer crosslinking technology that enables comparable or better performance than widely used, competitive moisture-cure technologies.

A few of our recent LV developments include faster curing, scorch-resistant SI-LINK™ AC products, combined catalyst master batches, and VW-1 FR solutions. We’re constantly working to find better answers. And we’re looking forward to the discoveries we can make together.

In addition to SI-LINK™ and REDI-LINK™ for insulation, we also offer polyethylene compounds for jacketing and halogen-free flame-retardant (HFFR) compounds for insulation and jacketing.

Our compounds for low voltage cable systems could be the right material solution for your next project. And our expanding polymer toolkit can enable development of formulations that deliver even greater cable flexibility – while still using conventional equipment and maintaining production efficiencies in most cases.
