The Difference of PVC,PE and XLPE

Polyethylene, English referred to as PE, which is a polymer of ethylene, non-toxic. Easy to color, good chemical stability, cold resistance, radiation resistance, good electrical insulation.

Polyvinyl chloride is abbreviated as PVC and is a polymer of vinyl chloride. It is chemically stable and resistant to acids, alkalis and some chemicals. It is resistant to moisture, aging and flame. When it is used, the temperature cannot exceed 60℃and it will harden at low temperatures. Polyvinyl chloride is divided into soft plastic and hard plastic.

Cross-linked polyethylene English abbreviation XLPE, is an important technology to improve the performance of PE. Cross-linked modified PE can greatly improve its performance, not only significantly improve the mechanical properties of PE, resistance to environmental stress cracking resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, creep resistance and electrical properties and other comprehensive performance, and The temperature rating of the PE is obviously improved, which can increase the heat-resistant temperature of the PE from 70°C to 90°C, which greatly broadens the application range of the PE.

At present, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) has been widely used in pipes, films, cable materials and foam products.
