What Does XLPE Stand For?

XLPE stands for Crosslinked Polyethylene

XLPE, or Crosslinked Polyethylene, is a versatile polymer characterized by a three-dimensional network of crosslinked polymer chains. This structure enhances its thermal resistance, mechanical strength, and chemical stability compared to standard polyethylene. XLPE is widely used in applications such as insulation for electrical cables, piping systems, and various consumer products due to its durability and resistance to environmental stressors.
