Technical Details & Test Data
- Processing
AquaGraft® 8020 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 20/20 or 20/40 mesh is recommended for optimal rheological flow and steady back pressure.
A high level of care in storage of CMB-6001 to minimize exposure to moisture is recommended to ensure that there is no degradation.
Pre-heating of the conductor may be recommended depending on cable construction and specific processing conditions.
Pre-drying of the AquaGraft® is generally recommended prior to use for 4 hrs. at 150F.

Storage & Handling
- Storage
- A high level of care in storage to minimize exposure to moisture is recommended to ensure that there is no degradation of the CMB 6001. Once opened, CMB-6001 should be consumed immediately to avoid any premature gelling due to environmental moisture.
- Handling
- To ensure health and safety, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available and should be consulted prior to use.
