This article looks at the process of silanol crosslinking of high-pressure polyethylene using the PENTA®-1002 modifier. Demonstrates that silanol-crosslinked PE films with a gel fraction content of over 50% may be used at high temperatures, as when this is done, a sparse but continuous network of chemical intermolecular bonds is formed in the polyethylene.
