What are the advantages of radiation cross-linked wires and cables?

Cross-linking the insulation of wires and cables can significantly improve their operating temperature, solvent resistance, environmental aging resistance, and cracking resistance. For example, conventional polyethylene (PE) insulated wires and cables, due to their linear polymer nature, are limited to operating temperatures below 70°C due to their melting point, resulting in poor solvent and cracking resistance. However, cross-linking the insulation significantly improves performance, enhancing its resistance to heat and chemicals. While PE typically softens at 70-90°C and melts at 110-125°C, cross-linked PE maintains its shape even at 250°C.
