Equistar Alathon® M6080WC High Density Polyethylene
Subcategory: Polyethylene; Thermoplastic; HDPE; Equistar Wire and Cable Grade; Polymer; Equistar High Density Polyethylene
Key Words: HDPE; Fiber Optic/Coaxial; Insulation
Material Notes: Applications ALATHON M 6080WC is a natural, high density, polyethylene homopolymer resin with a narrow molecular weight distribution formulated for use as primary insulation for coaxial and control cable applications including gas-injected or chemically expanded insulation. This resin provides enhanced processability and stiffness and exhibits excellent color, low odor and good processing stability.
Processing Techniques M 6080WC, like other thermoplastic polyolefin resins, can be extruded as wire and cable insulation using a conventional extruder. Below are suggested extrusion conditions for M 6080WC. These conditions are intended as general guidelines only and are not optimum values, since manufacturing conditions such as extruder type and size affect the processing of thermoplastic resins.
