EPDM because it helps to even out temperature variations and unevenness in the cable surface. Silicone helps to prevent air gaps, and therefore dangerous partial discharges are avoided. PFISTERER takes extensive advantage of advanced LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) desi- gns and special variations are made using RTV (Room Temperature Vulca- nizing silicone).
