General Information
Product Description

DFDD-0588 BK Black 9865, with a density of 0.93, and a melt index of 0.2, is a prime quality telephone cable black jacketing compound, containing furnace black. It offers excellent environmental stress cracking resistance, outdoor weatherability, toughness, low temperature performance, and extrudability. It differs from DFDB-0588 BK Black 9865 in that it contains a low level of die drool-resistant additive and a low moisture absorption carbon black.
DFDD-0588 BK Black 9865 can be used by wire and cable manufacturers for the entire range of telephone cable sizes and configurations. It is suitable for both aircore and jelly-filled construction, and in both aerial and buried applications.
