Conductor screen 2. XLPE insulation 3. Insulation screen All applied in a single, continuous motion where no air, no seams and no second tries. Once the cable enters the nitrogen curing tube at around 400 °C, the XLPE begins to cross-link under heat and pressure, turning from plastic into a solid, permanent electrical shield. It’s the moment a cable stops being metal and polymer and becomes one structure. Think of it like building a perfect highway for electrons like we use to. The conductor is the highway itself, dense with speeding electrons. But up close, it’s not smooth. It’s made of twisted wires with tiny gaps and ridges between them (pitch of wires). Those microscopic valleys and the interstice...

They begin at the surface. Every material has a property called surface energy. High surface energy materials like metals and glass allow adhesives to spread easily. Low surface energy materials like polyethylene and polypropylene resist wetting. When an adhesive cannot properly wet a surface, the bond never truly forms. This is why some tapes stick perfectly to steel but struggle on plastic containers. The adhesive may be strong. But the surface is stronger. Understanding surface energy early prevents many avoidable failures later. In adhesive engineering, the surface often decides the outcome. source : Bhavesh Vaswani #SurfaceEnergy #SelfAdhesive

That is the part many people underestimate. In PVC, pigment is not only a visual choice. It can influence: • heat absorption • UV resistance • surface temperature • color retention • chalking behavior • gloss loss • thermal history • stabilizer demand • long-term mechanical retention Two PVC profiles can have the same formulation. Same resin. Same stabilizer. Same lubricant system. Same processing window. Change the pigment package, and the aging behavior can change. Why? Because pigments interact with light, heat, and the polymer surface. A dark pigment may increase surface temperature under sunlight. A poor pigment dispersion can create weak zones and uneven appearance. Some pigments improve opacity and UV screening. Some pigment choices can affect heat build-up during service. TiO₂ grade and surface treatment can strongly influence weathe...

That is stress whitening. What actually happened? The ejection force was too concentrated. As the ejector pins pushed the part from the mold, the plastic at the contact point was stressed beyond its yield limit. The polymer chains formed microscopic crazes—tiny cracks that appear as a white, frosted patch on the surface. That white patch is not just cosmetic. It is the surface telling you that the material has experienced excessive mechanical stress. Stress whitening commonly appears: • Around ejector pin locations • At sharp corners and edges • Near stress concentration zones • Around snap-fit features after assembly Why it happens ① Excessive ejection...
