Electron Beam Crosslinking

We use our own electron beams to cure the jackets on all of our products — making them tough, UV-resistant, weld-spatter resistant, and incredibly durable in demanding manufacturing environments.

What It Is

Curing Composites With High-Energy Electrons

Electron beam cross linking can cure a wide range of composites. High-energy electrons pass through the polymer jacket and create new bonds between molecular chains — a process called crosslinking.

The result is a material that behaves completely differently from where it started: dramatically tougher, more heat- and chemical-resistant, and far more durable. Because we run our own beams, we can crosslink in house as part of our normal production flow.

Where It Performs

Built For The Toughest Environments

Crosslinked jackets are engineered for the conditions that destroy ordinary cable. Explore the environments where they earn their keep.

High-Heat Environments

Runs next to heat sources and weld puddles without softening, flowing, or losing insulation value.

Learn More

UV-Intense Environments

Holds up to sunlight and weather in outdoor and exposed runs without chalking or cracking.

Learn More

Welding & Cutting Cells

Shrugs off molten spatter and sparks instead of burning through to the conductor.

Learn More

High-Abrasion Environments

Survives dragging across concrete, cable carriers, and sharp steel edges without gouging.

Learn More

Chemical & Fluid Exposure

Stays stable in contact with oils, coolants, solvents, and aggressive shop-floor fluids.

Learn More

Continuous-Duty Applications

Built for round-the-clock production where fewer failures mean less downtime.

The Process

From Extrusion to Cured Product

01

Design & Extrude

We extrude the jacket compound over your conductor or assembly to spec.

02

Beam Exposure

The product passes through our electron beam, where high-energy electrons penetrate the polymer.

03

Crosslinking

The beam forms new molecular bonds — crosslinks — that transform the material's properties.

04

Verify & Ship

We validate the cured product against your requirements and ship it ready to perform.
