ECCOH™ LSFOH 6153/6154 UV Formulations
Improved processing speeds & greater gel resistance for
optical fiber cables
ECCOH™ LSFOH 6153 UV and 6154 UV grades are
low smoke, fume, non-halogen material solutions
for optical fiber cables with increased processing
speeds and greater resistance to chemicals such
as gel water blocking compounds, used to protect
optical fibers.
RHEOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE
ECCOH 6153/6154 UV grades offer enhanced rheological pbehavior.
Gel migration is measured using a quantitative internal method
* 6151 can be supplied with UV protection
* Values concluded from the simulation of materials rheological data and modelling standard extrusion tooling
Pressure: can affect extruder performance, higher pressure gives a lower output at the same rpm
Shear rate: has a relation with self-cleaning of the walls and mixing conditions
Stress: can affect the surface of the product, less stress gives a better surface aspect
