Safer feeding of Silanes and peroxides.


Reactive extrusion of crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) pipe or cable coatings typically involves dripping silane silane
 or silicon hydride

Any of a series of inorganic compounds of silicon and hydrogen with covalent bonds and the general chemical formula SinH(2n + 2).
 and peroxide-two reactive liquids that are highly explosive--directly into an extruder. A safer alternative was introduced to the U.S. last year by Inoex LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol.

 dosing system for PEX chemicals operates under an inert nitrogen blanket in all areas of feeding, including the gravimetric funnel. Silane and peroxide peroxide (pərŏk`sīd), chemical compound containing two oxygen atoms, each of which is bonded to the other and to a radical or some element other than oxygen; e.g.  are individually temperature controlled. The system feeds 0.5 to 44 lb/hr of the liquid additives and reportedly enables cost savings by accurately dispensing lower amounts than are possible with dripping.
