Dow ENDURANCE™ HFDB-0586 BK ES

DOW ENDURANCE™ HFDB-0586 BK ES is a specially formulated semiconductive, vulcanizable compound designed for use as an extruded conductor shield and bonded insulation shield applications in power cables.(1) DOW ENDURANCE ™ HFDB-0586 BK ES has stable volume resistivity characteristics at elevated temperatures and is formulated with a polymer system that has demonstrated compatibility with copper and aluminum conductors. DOW ENDURANCE™ HFDB-0586 BK ES offers outstanding extrusion properties with low melt pressures and low temperature generation that result in outstanding scorch resistance under a wide processing window.

(1) DOW ENDURANCE™ HFDB-0586 BK ES is recommended for use in conjunction with DOW cross-linked polyethylene and tree-retardant cross-linked polyethylene compound. For other polymer insulations as well as EPR and EPDM the user is cautioned to establish the utility of DOW ENDURANCE™ HFDB-0586 BK ES with each formulation.

Applications
DOW ENDURANCE HFDB-0586 BK ES has been designed for semiconductive applications in power distribution and transmission cables for cable rated up to 230 kV. It can be used as inner and outer semiconductive layer for bonded cable applications and as inner semiconductive layer for strippable cable constructions.
