XLPE Lumps (Cross-Linked Polyethylene Lumps)

XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) lumps are chunks of recycled or scrap material generated from the production and processing of XLPE products. This material is characterized by its cross-linked structure, which provides enhanced thermal, mechanical, and chemical properties compared to non-cross-linked polyethylene.

Key Properties: 

1. Thermal Stability: XLPE lumps have excellent thermal stability, able to withstand high temperatures without melting or deforming, making them suitable for applications requiring heat resistance.

2. Chemical Resistance: The material exhibits strong resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including solvents, acids, and bases, ensuring durability in harsh environments.

3. Mechanical Strength: XLPE maintains high tensile strength and impact resistance, providing robust performance in demanding applications.

4. Electrical Insulation: XLPE is known for its superior electrical insulating properties, making it ideal for applications in the electrical and electronics industry.

5. Low Water Absorption: The cross-linked structure of XLPE results in low water absorption, enhancing its suitability for applications exposed to moisture.

Common Applications of Cross-Linked Polyethylene Lumps:

- Cable and Wire Insulation: Ideal for use in the production of high-performance electrical cables and wires due to its excellent electrical insulation and thermal properties.

- Pipe and Tubing: Used in manufacturing durable pipes and tubing for plumbing, heating, and industrial applications where chemical resistance and mechanical strength are required.

- Automotive Components: Suitable for various automotive parts, including fuel system components and under-the-hood applications, benefiting from its heat resistance and durability.

- Construction Materials: Applied in the production of construction materials such as insulation boards and panels, which require thermal stability and moisture resistance.

- Foam Products: Used in producing cross-linked polyethylene foam products for packaging, cushioning, and other applications where shock absorption and insulation are important.
