With processing speeds up to 1000m/minute and a much lower melting point than PBT (a traditional OFC jacketing material), these new ECCOH™ grades enable faster processing and reduced energy use during manufacturing.
As global demand for internet connectivity and data transmission capacity continues to rise, fiber optic cable is replacing traditional copper communication cables at a fast pace.

Incomplete Fill
Melt and/or mold
temperature too cold
• Increase nozzle and barrel temperatures
• Check thermocouples and heater bands
Shot size
• Increase shot size
• Adjust transfer position to 98% full
• Increase cushion
• Enlarge or widen vents and increase number of vents
• Check that vents are unplugged
• Check that gates are unplugged
• Enlarge gates and/or runners
• Perform short shots to determine fill pattern and verify
proper vent location
• Increase wall thickness to move gas trap to parting line
Brittleness
Degraded/overheated
material
• Decrease melt temperature
• Decrease back pressure
• Use smaller barrel
