DOW Electrical Telecommunications DFDA-1375 RD Dow Polyethylene, Linear Low Density

Product Description

DFDA-1375 RD is a linear low-density polyethylene cable jacket compound supplied in pellet form. It was specifically designed for identifiable power cable applications with improved opacity over DFDA-1374 RD, at a thickness of 10 mils (0.25 mm). It is based on an organic pigment and filler system with excellent color retention in acids, bases and water. It is compatible with LLDPE jackets and is recommended for use as a stripe in conjunction with DFDG-6059 BK.

Extrusion Notes
DFDA-1375 RD provides excellent surface finish and outstanding output rates over a broad range of conditions. The optimum results are obtained by use of melt extrusion temperatures in the suggested range 218-246°C (425-475°F). However, specific recommendations for processing is best determined when the nature of the application and type of processing equipment are known. The local Dow Wire & Cable sales representative can be contacted for such applications.
