Technical Details & Test Data
- Processing
AquaGraft® 1-6010 is engineered for processing on conventional extrusion equipment. It is recommended that these products be processed using a greater than 20:1 extruder with a high shear screw with adequate mixing sections. The compound supplied is in the cleanest state and is of the highest quality; however, the use of a breaker plate with a screen pack of approximately 20/40 mesh is recommended for optimal rheological flow and steady back pressure.
A high level of care in storage to minimize exposure to moisture is recommended to ensure that there is no
pre-cure or gelling of the PEMC-1 grafted polymer.
Pre-heating of the conductor is recommended depending on cable construction and specific processing
conditions.
Pre-drying in a desiccant dryer of the FMB-6010 and color concentrates is recommended prior to use for
4-6 hrs. at 130F.

Storage & Handling
- Handling
To ensure health and safety, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available and should be consulted prior to use.
- Storage
A high level of care in storage to minimize exposure to moisture is recommended to ensure that there is no pre-cure or gelling of the PEMC-1 grafted polymer. Component containers should be stored at temperatures below 50C (120F) in a dry area for not more than 6 months. Once opened, PEMC-1 must be used immediately to avoid any premature gelling due to environmental moisture.
