A semi-conductive layer over the conductor surface and over the insulation surface of a medium (MV) or high (HV) voltage cable help to ensure insulation electrical performance. ESCONTEK semi-conductive compounds are designed with proper rheology for optimal processing on the CV lines and are manufactured with precision to ensure excellent dispersion of carbon black, an essential electrical ingredient. Grades have good scorch resistance, allowing long run-times without degradation. They also cross-link quickly in the CV tubes.
