SI-LINK™ DFDB-5400 NT PE Moisture-Curable Compound

A RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances)-compliant flame retardant masterbatch designed to be used in conjunction with SI-LINK™ DFDA-5451 NT Polyethylene and the catalyst masterbatch SI-LINK™ DFDB-5480 NT Polyethylene to form a flame retardant SI-LINK polyethylene insulation system. This system is bulletinized by UL as DFDB-5425 and is moisture curable. The specific gravity of the system is 1.04. . SI-LINK™ DFDB-5400 NT is formulated to pass the UL-44 horizontal burn test on 14 AWG (1.63 mm) wire, 0.030 in. insulation wall thickness, at a 25% loading with 70% SI-LINK™ DFDA-5451 NT and 5% SI-LINK™ DFDB-5480 NT. The formulation for such an additive is available upon request and the resulting product is bulletinized by UL as DFDB-5425 UV. For accelerated curing applications SI-LINK™ DFDB-5400 NT can be used in conjunction with SI-LINK™ AC DFDB-5451 NT Polyethylene and the catalyst masterbatch SI-LINK™ AC DFDA-5488 NT Polyethylene to form a flame retardant SI-LINK™ AC polyethylene insulation system. This system is recognized by UL as DFDB-5425 AC. It is formulated to pass the UL-44 horizontal burn test on 14 AWG (1.63 mm) wire, 0.030" wall thickness, at a 25% loading with 70% SI-LINK™ DFDB-5451 NT and 5% SI-LINK™ AC DFDA-5488 NT. SPECIFICATIONS The DFDB-5425 systems are bulletinized by UL for XHH, XHHW, XHHW-2, RHH, RHW, RHW-2, SIS, USE and USE-2. They are also suitable for CSA RW-90, and RWU-90 applications.
