Product Description
Polyolefin based thermoplastic compound containing a fire retardant system that contributes to give the cable self-extinguish properties without halogenidric acids evolution; furthermore, toxic and corrosive gases emission and smoke generation are particularly reduced. These characteristics make this compound suitable in all applications where the fire behavior of cable materials is one of the main concerns to be considered in establishing a high safety level in public places. This material complies with RoHS requirements.

Additional Information
coloring
  • EVA based masterbatches added at 1.2-1.5% (approx.) by weight; in order to avoid scotching problems during processing, predrying of colour masterbatch is suggested if moisture absorption occurred during storage (4-6 hours at 60-70°C).

storage
  • The product should be stored under the following conditions:
    • closed and unbroken bags
    • ambient temperature not exceeding 35°C
    • avoid direct exposure to sunlight and weathering

  • Product alterations could occour due to extended period of storage. Its use within six months from the production date is suggested.
  • Solvay Padanaplast S.p.A. accepts no liability of any kind in case the above mentioned conditions are not fulfilled.

packaging
  • 25 kg moisture-resistant bags on 1375 kg pallet or carton box of 1000Kg.

Extrusion Notes
extrusion equipment
  • Standard extruders for thermoplastics equipped with low compression screw (1:1.2-1.4 compression ratio and 20-25 L/D ratio are suggested), and an adequate barrel thermoregulation.
  • Screw cooling is not required.

  • Filter net: not necessary; in case, use 40-80 mesh/cm2 max. Anyway the use of the breaker plate is advisable, in particular using low compression screws.
