Maxxam™ formulations are based on polypropylene and polyethylene resins and can be filled and reinforced to satisfy the required performance characteristic.

Simplifies food packaging operations by reducing the coefficient of friction on thermoformed containers, facilitating easy separation during manufacturing and filling.

New Maxxam™ BIO Bio-Based Polyolefins can be filled with up to 40% bio-filler from cellulose fiber.

However, the customer needed a liner material that would be able to fill existing pipe interiors.

Loose buffer tube – made of PBT, PTFE, Nylon 12, PP or other polymers. Both parts are made of silica/glass or polymer 4. Outer strength member • Base fiber of Kevlar, E-Glass, Zylon, Vectran LCP • Often be coated with Fiber-Line coatings (Swellcoat, Bondcoat, Wearcoat) 6.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Faster processing speeds (up to 1,000 m/min) at low wall thickness (100 µm) • Increased chemical resistance • Lower gel migration • ECCOH 6153 UV - optimized for Teroson • ECCOH 6154 UV - optimized for Unigel • High color rendition and compatibility with Avient masterbatch • High UV resistance • Very low shrinkage MARKET & APPLICATIONS Optical Fiber Cables including: • Stranded loose tubes – gel-filled/dry • Micro-modules • Tight buffer applications – gel-filled/dry STANDARD COMPLIANCE • IEC 60794 • NF XP C93-850-1-1:2020 • EN 50289-4-17:2016 • ISO 4892:2016 • ST/CNET/5843 (1998) PRODUCT BULLETIN GEL MIGRATION PERFORMANCE ECCOH LSFOH 6153/6154 UV grades offer greater gel migration performance compared to alternative ECCOH grades. 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 MIGRATION OF GEL COMPOUND Gel Compound ECCOH™ 6151* ECCOH™ 6153 UV ECCOH™ 6154 UV Unigel Average Good Excellent Teroson Average Excellent Good Itcogel Average Good Excellent ECCOH™ 6151 ECCOH™ 6153 UV ECCOH™ 6154 UV ∆P (bars) 101 63 60 Shear Rate (1/s) 9 9 9 Stress (kPa) 127 79 75 Application example: Gel-filled stranded loose tube optical fiber cable www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.
