LE0563
Thermoplastic Semiconductive Jacketing Compound
Description
LE0563 is a thermoplastic semiconductive compound specifically designed for medium- high and extra-high voltage
cable systems requiring improved grounding. It may be used either as a complete jacket or as a thin layer extruded
on top of the regular jacket. This compounds permits easy diagnostic testing of the cable to ensure jacket
conformity, allowing confirmation of fault-free cable before and after installation. It provides excellent mechanical
properties, superior environmental stress crack resistance and good electrical conductivity. Due to the
semiconductive properties, it will also provide added protection against lightning.
Specifications
LE0563 meets the applicable requirements as below when processed using sound extrusion practice and testing
procedure:
IEC 60502, Type ST7 ICEA S-94-649, Type 1

Special features
LE0563 provides excellent environmental stress crack resistance and good electrical conductivity.

Processing Techniques
To produce a good and reliable cable, it is essential to ensure careful and very clean handling of the jacketing
material. Please contact your Borealis representative for more details.
Predrying
It is recommended that LE0563 is dried prior to extrusion. Typical drying conditions are shown below:
Predrying (4 h) 70°C With dehumidified air
No screw cooling
Optimum DC volume resistivity and mechanical properties could be obtained by maximizing cooling water
temperature or distance between cooling water and die head.
Extrusion
Typical processing temperature ranges for LE0563 are shown below:
Barrel 1 180 °C
356 °F
Barrel 2 190 °C
374 °F
Barrel 3 200 °C
392 °F
Barrel 4 210 °C
