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.
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.
