Cross-linking, vulcanising
In cable production, the insulating sheaths and jackets of polyethylene elastomer compounds are cross-linked. The macromolecules of the elastomers or polyethylene are linked together by cross-links. The material changes from a plastic to an elastic state. When processing elastomers, this process is called vulcanisation. (All information without guarantee)
