Electron Beam Crosslinking

In-house electron beam irradiation that transforms polymer jackets into high-performance, crosslinked materials — tougher, UV-resistant, and built for extreme environments.

Electron Beam Crosslinking
Overview

We operate our own electron beam accelerator on-site. High-energy electrons penetrate the polymer jacket and form new covalent bonds between molecular chains — crosslinking — that permanently change the material's behavior. The result is a jacket that handles temperatures, chemicals, UV, abrasion, and weld spatter that would destroy a standard extruded compound. Because we run the beam ourselves, we crosslink as a standard step in our production flow.

What We Offer

  • In-house electron beam accelerator — no third-party processing
  • Crosslinks PE, XLPE, EPDM, CPE, and other polymers
  • Raises continuous temperature rating up to 150°C
  • Dramatically improves UV, chemical, and abrasion resistance
  • Weld-spatter resistant after crosslinking
  • Process validated per UL and customer specs

Why It Matters

No Outsourcing

We run the accelerator. That means faster cycle times, tighter process control, and no third-party scheduling or handling.

Material Transformation

Crosslinking isn't a coating — it permanently changes the polymer's molecular structure for performance that holds up for the life of the cable.

Broad Polymer Compatibility

We crosslink PE, XLPE, EPDM, CPE, and other compounds — so you're not locked into a single jacket material.
