VistalonTM EPM 722 has improved flexibility over conventional EPDM and In a typical 3728 type of medium-voltage insulation formulation, VistalonTM EPM 722
competitive metallocene EPDM as indicated by the modulus at low strain. affords superior flexibility in an AEIC cable construction compared with TRXLPE.
Furthermore, the ethylene-propylene elastomer is much less sensitive to a decrease
in temperature than TRXLPE.
