Irradiation of plasticized PVC (PPVC) compound containing a cross-linking monomer was carried out by a 10 MeV electron beam. This compound mainly is used as insulation in the wire and cable industry. The cross-linking monomers EHPTM and TAC at different ratio of 3, 6, and 9 phr were used. The dose range was varied from 50 to 150 kGy. The effects of monomers and radiation dose on radiation cross-linking were studied by hot-set testing and gel content measurements. In the absence of EHPTM and TAC, cross-linking did not take place by high energy electron beam at any dose and samples had very large elongation in a hot-set apparatus. But in the presence of these monomers, gel content augmented with an increase in radiation dose and EHPTM level. The highest value of approximately 76% gel content was obtained. In this case the lowest hot-set value was about 12%. Also, tensile strength, elongation at break, modulus, volume resistivity, dielectric strength, and limiting oxygen index of samples were examined. It was found that the mechanical properties of samples containing EHPTM and TAC improved significantly with increasing radiation dose. But for PPVC samples loaded with EHPTM, tensile strength values were higher than those of the loaded ones with TAC at all radiation doses. From the hot-set data it is concluded that the samples loaded with EHPTM had a low thermal expansion compared with samples loaded with TAC. The results indicated that EHPTM is a more effective cross-linking agent for PPVC compound compared with TAC.
