Generator AcceleratorChannel Deflecting Magnet Cable Polymer Cross-Linking Information Siechem Rolling Stock Cables, Control & Data Transmission Cables Insulation & Sheath is energy electron beam irradiation cross linked from in house state of the art irradiation centre with prestigious AERB, (Govt. of India) Mumbai approval. The Insulation and Sheath materials are made of polyolefin co-polymer. Polyolefin consists of many random molecular chains, with no particular orientation, and no chemical bonds existing between chains before cross linking. After irradiation cross linking ( as shown in figure-1) the free & random molecular chains are cross linked as shown in the figure-2 Electron Beam Cross Linked Rolling Stock Cables have higher Electrical, Mechanical, Thermal & Weathering properties. EBXL Siechem Rolling Stock Cables have following special features. 1. Do not melt or flow even at very high temperatures. 2. High resistance against UV, Ozone & Hydrolysis. 3. Good flexibility, easy to strip 4. Improved abrasion/cut through 5. Better crush resistance 6. Solder iron resistance 7. Better over load characteristics 8. Resistance to stress cracking 9. Improved fluid, chemical & oil resistance 10. Slightly better flame resistance 11. Negligible change in thermal stability & electrical property 12. Improved fire resistance performance 13. Higher short circuit capacity 14. Improved high temperature mechanicals 15. High Degree of Cross-Linking and homogenity 16. No Polymer degradation due to high temperature as EB Cross-Linking occurs at room temperature 17. No oxidative degradation in polymers as observed in chemical cross-linking and so on. Figure 1 The State of Polymer Chain before and after cross linking A brief description of Cross-Linking, Product realiability, advantages and testing of Siechem Rolling Stock Cables. Figure 2 Two random polymeric molecules during and after irradiation cross linking A. DURING IRRADIATION ELECTRON RADIATION ELECTRON RADIATION B.AFTER IRRADIATION CROSSLINK BONDS Figure Layout of Electron beam For most plastic materials, equivalent properties may be obtained by the use of either continuous vulcanizing or moisture cross linking, but irradiation may have the following advantage in addition to what is discussed above: 1. Irradiation has no lower limit on physical size, smaller conductor sizes, and thin insulation walls may be provided. 2. Irradiation does not use high temperature or pressure. Separator tapes are not required to prevent thin wall insulations from being forced into the conductor strand surface. 3. Irradiation offers the insulation compounder design freedom. Compound additives may be chosen without regard to their reaction to high temperatures and to moisture. During the irradiation process, high energy electrons are bombard over the insulation system. Figure 2 illustrates two random polymeric molecules being subject to irradiation. The energy of irradiation ejects a hydrogen atom which then removes a neighboring hydrogen atom, forming molecular hydrogen gas (H ). The vacant sites 2 on the adjacent polymer chain then combine to create a cross-link bond.
