Polyethylene is widely used in various wire and cable applications such as insulation and jacketing.

All kinds of polyethylenes such as low density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE) as well as crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) are widely used in the wire and cable industry. Applications range from low, medium and high voltage power cable insulation and jacketing to telecommunication cable insulation. Each application requires specific polymer features in terms of processability and final cable performance. Additives such as antioxidants and light stabilizers play a significant role in meeting these strong requirements.
