Polyethylene

A thermoplastic material composed of ethylene polymers, commonly used as a jacketing material for outdoor cables. Derived from the polymerization of ethylene gas. Outstanding electrical properties include good moisture resistance, high dielectric strength, low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss at all frequencies, excellent resistance to cold flow and good abrasion resistance. Widely used for insulation on telephone signal and control cables, high frequency electronic cables, high and low voltage power cables, line wire, neutral supported secondary and service drop cables.
