RADOX® stands for "radiation X-linked" and describes the process of crosslinking thermoplastic polymers by means of electron beams. HUBER+SUHNER has been using this technology, which was developed in-house, successfully since the 1970s to achieve notable improvements in the thermal, mechanical and chemical properties of the cable insulation material. RADOX® cables do not melt, possess better abrasion resistance and greater cut resistance than conventional cables and, even with thinner insulation, are much more resistant to various environmental factors.

Thermally

• RADOX® does not melt
• No drip-off from insulation material in case of short circuit
• Extended lifetime at lower temperature
• Less shrinking of insulation material in higher temperature
• Better heat ageing performance
• Better fire performance

Mechanically

• Thinner insulation due to improved mechanical and chemical resistance properties
• RADOX® withstands temperature peaks
• Improved abrasion resistance
• Improved cut through resistance

Chemically

• Better environmental resistance (UV, ozone, weathering, water, salt water etc.)
• Better resistance against liquids (oil, battery acid, grease, AdBlue, solvent resistance and other chemicals)
