Description
The polyethylene, LDPE, LLDPE, and HDPE were subjected to electron beam irradiation at doses ranging from 0 to 250 kGy. The effect of irradiation dose and dose rate, various additives such as crosslinking accelerator, anti-oxidant (AO), flame retardant (FR) and pigments were evaluated in relation to changes of physical and mechanical properties of the crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE). The objective of the studies is to establish relevant data required in development PE compounds suitable for certain applications such as wire and cables insulation, foamed products and shrinkable tubes. 43 figs., 5 tabs
