Product Description
DFDB-5410 BK is a carbon black filled masterbatch developed for use with the SI-LINK™ Polyethylene insulation system. This carbon black masterbatch is especially designed to provide excellent UV protection and to minimize the amount of moisture it absorbs.

Advantages
DFDB-5410 BK has excellent handling and processing advantages when used in SI-LINK™ Polyethylene insulation system applications:
  • A Low tendency to adsorb moisture.
  • Formulated with a high concentration of carbon black allowing processor to use less.

Specifications
DFDB-5410 BK, when used in conjunction with the SI-LINK™ Polyethylene moisture curable insulation system, provides carbon black for UV protection. To achieve 2.5% carbon black in the final product, DFDB-5410 BK should be incorporated at a level of 6.3%.

Packaging
DFDB-5410 BK is available in 25-kg foil bags or 1500-lb foil-lined bulk cartons.

Extrusion Notes
Highly filled systems with carbon black are inherently hygroscopic and will, over a period of time, absorb moisture. Though the packaging used for DFDB-5410 BK is specifically designed to reduce moisture penetration, drying for 4 to 6 hours at 140°-160°F (60°-70°C) in a hopper dryer with dehumidified air is recommended for optimum results. If desired, it may be dry mixed with DFDB-5480 NT catalyst masterbatch from Dow prior to being dried.
