They have outstanding UV and weather resistance, passing Arrhenius lifetime prediction tests of 20,000 hours as per the IEC 60216-1 standard.
They pass EN 50618 and IEC 60332-1 standards on the assembled cable (if the cable jacketing and insulation are both produced with ECCOH XL 8148 solutions).

HMPE for example, has a specific gravity less than 1 and will float in water. • Corrosion Since our products are non-corrosive, they offer outstanding performance in corrosive environments, including marine and off- shore applications. • Conductivity High-performance synthetic fibers act as a barrier between eletrical components. • Creep When exposed to static long-term loads, synthetic fibers stretch very little.
