Product Description

  VINYL SILANE FOR CROSSLINKING POLYETHYLENE, Silcat 17
Description
SLC-17 is a modified vinyltrimethoxysilane containing a crosslinking tin catalyst. In order to be used as one-step (Monosil) crosslinking system, addition of a suitable peroxide is required.

Key features and Typical Benefits
  1. The choice and concentration of the peroxide to be added can be easily adapted to the specific polyethylene grade and extrusion equipment used.
  2.  After the addition of a peroxide initiator the SLC-17 can be used to crosslink stabilized, polyethylene grades in commercially available one-step extrusion equipment.
 
Reaction Sequence
Moisture content of the PE resin must be less than 200 ppm. In hot and humid countries pre-drying of the resin at 70ºC by means of an air desiccator is highly recommended.
Grafting:  Optimum addition levels for a given application must be determined experimentally. Data collected on Nextrom extruders indicate that the dose levels of SLC-17 should be between 1.3 and 2.0 wt %.
Temperature profile setting of the extruder:
  • Barrel                     150/150/150/190/200/200/210ºC
  • Head and die              210ºC
  • Screw                     80-100ºC
Crosslinking:  Rate of cure is dependent upon time, temperature and thickness of the layer and available moisture. Sufficient crosslinking can be achieved by any of the following methods:
  • Immersion in water at 80-90ºC ,or
  • Exposure to low pressure steam at 105ºC,or
  • Exposure to steam at atmospheric pressure
