	XLPE Crosslinked (X-linked) Polyethylene, is a polyethylene where the thermoplastic structure with separate polymer chains have been modified to a form a network structure that is no longer thermoplastic and will not melt when heated. This modification is used to increase service temperature for products as Hot Water Pipes and Power Cables. Crosslinking is manly achieved by using silane copolymers or by free-radical-crosslinking using a peroxide.
