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.

BENEFITS OF THE CHEMICAL FOAMING PROCESS • Standard equipment compatibility: Maxxam formulations can be processed using standard extrusion equipment, eliminating the need for specialized machinery • Chemical foaming formulation: No investment in gas injection systems or procurement of gas is required • High foaming rates: Achieve up to a 60% foaming rate, optimizing material properties while maintaining performance • Adapted temperature profile: These foamable grades are formulated to work effectively within a tailored temperature profile, offering consistent quality MAXXAM PP COPOLYMERS ARE SPECIALLY FORMULATED TO DELIVER • High-temperature performance: Suitable for applications requiring resistance to elevated temperatures • High foaming rate for cellular formulations: Contributes to better electrical properties due to low density • Excellent mechanical properties: Provides durability and reliability in demanding environments KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF CELLULAR PP FORMULATIONS • Fully formulated PP: no need for other additives • Can be based on chemical foaming agents which are not hazardous substances for a sustainable production process • No need for gas injection • Excellent surface finish and uniform cell structure • Excellent electrical properties to reach stringent capacitance • Low shrinkage • Adapted for skin-foam-skin or foam-skin design • Higher temperature resistance compared to PE • Good crush resistance MARKETS & APPLICATIONS IN WIRE & CABLE • Communication cables such as telecom and data cables • Twisted wire pairs • Coaxial cables
