XLPE insulation and polystyrene

Alan B

Hi 

I Know that PVC cables leach their plasticiser when in contact with polystyrene.

I am wondering if EV ultra with carbon tek outer would have the same problem, can't find anything on line.

    Normal insulating tape is PVC, and flex conduit like Kopex is PVC too. So might be delaying the inevitable.

    I thought this problem was solved with new formulations too, but apparently not. Thanks
