PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL, AND ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF MARLEX (TRADE NAME) ETHYLENE POLYMERS,

Abstract

For utilization as insulation in the wire and cable industry, it appears that MARLEX ethylene polymers offer all the advantages of conventional polyethylene and, in addition, have extended the useful range of these thermoplastics in the following: (1) Increased softening temperature. (2) Improved abrasion resistance. (3) Extended environmental stress cracking time. (4) Decreased permeability to liquids and gases. (Author)
