AXELERON™ FO 8864 BK CPD Datasheet,MDPE,The Dow Chemical Company-SHANGHAI SUSHENG

Message
Dow AXELERON™FO 8864 BK CPD is a high molecular weight, linear, medium density, black polyethylene material, which is developed for the application of optical fiber and ordinary metal conductor cable sheath. This material has very good processing characteristics and can be made into a very strong cable sheath. Dow's AXELERON™FO 8864 BK CPD also has excellent environmental stress cracking resistance, weather resistance and thermal oxidation degradation resistance. Dow AXELERON™FO 8864 BK CPD provides excellent low temperature optical signal attenuation performance in the application field of optical fiber cable sheath. The material combines reduced extrusion retraction stress with excellent tensile modulus. Therefore, the contraction force exerted by the cable sheath on the fiber optic cable during the temperature cycle change is minimized. Specifications Dow AXELERON™FO 8864 BK CPD meets the requirements of the following raw material specifications: ASTM D 1248: Type II, Class C, Class 4, E9 and J4 Federal LP-390C: Type III, M, 2, 3, 4 REA PE 39 and 89 (raw material section)

Extrusion instructions
AXELERON™ FO 8864 BK CPD has good extrusion processing latitude. High, stable output rates and moderate melt temperatures and pressures are obtainable with both polyethylene barrier and metering type extruder screws. Typical extrusion conditions are listed below; the exact conditions will depend upon the equipment used and the application.Extruder Screw Type: PE Metering Screw LD: 18:1 to 24:1 Compression Ratio: 2.5:1 to 3.0:1 Screen Pack: 20/40/60/20 mesh Temperature Profile Hopper: Water Cooling Feed Zone: 300°F (150°C) Center Zones: 440°F (225°C) Metering Zone: 440°F (225°C) Head: 440°F (225°C) Die: 440°F (225°C) Melt Temperature: 450°F (230°C) AXELERON™ FO 8864 BK CPD cable jacketing can be applied with either pressure or sleeving (tube-on) type extrusion tooling. With tube-on extrusion, a minimum tubing tip diameter and a 2:1 drawdown ratio is recommended. If necessary, a higher drawdown ratio can be used to increase jacket tightness.
