Insulation properties of XLPE by adding cross-linking agent and cross-linking co-agent

We studied about electrical, chemical and mechanical characteristics of XLPE by dicumyl peroxide(DCP) and trimethylolpropane triacrylate(TMPTA) content ratio. DCP content was changed from 1.0 to 2.5phr increasing 0.5phr. TMPTA content was changed 0.5 to 1.5phr increasing 0.5phr. Thermal analysis (DSC) was carried out in order to observe tendency of Tg according to DCP and TMPTA content. Tensile strenth was measured in order to observe mechanical strength. In experimental results, content DCP 2.0phr and TMPTA 1.0phr has highest breakdown strength. Content DCP 2.0phr and TMPTA 0.5phr has lowest dielectric constant. Tendency of Tg did not affected by DCP and TMPTA content.
