The invention discloses a chemical crosslink
polyethylene insulating plastic used for a water tree resistant
power cable and application thereof. The insulating plastic comprises the components based on the parts by weight: 100 parts of
polyethylene resin, 0.5-4 parts of
ethylene-acrylic ester multipolymer, 1.0-3.0 parts of
peroxide, 0.02-2 parts of compound antioxidizer, 0.1-0.5 parts of nucleating agent and 0.1-1 part of
siloxane. The chemical crosslink
polyethylene insulating plastic used for the medium-low pressure water tree resistant
power cable has good extrudability and cable forming property, less
impurity content, excellent water tree resistant performance, improved internal
lubricity and good surface performance; under the same current, the extruded velocity of the cable is high, the
processing temperature is reduced, less low molecular gas is generated, the impurities and defects inside the material get less, the degree of
crystallinity and the water tree resistant performance are improved, the production
energy consumption is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved. Therefore, the invention can be used for an insulating layer or a restrictive
coating of medium-low pressure
power cable.
