Technical Details & Test Data
- Processing
AquaGraft® PEMC-1 is engineered for processing on conventional extrusion equipment. It is recommended that this product 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 or 20/60 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 grafted polymer.
Pre-heating of the conductor is recommended depending on cable construction and specific processing
conditions.
The following conditions are given as a guide for processing:Zone 1 (feed): 260-280 127-138 Zone 2 260-280 127-138 Zone 3 260-280 127-138 Zone 4 260-280 127-138 Crosshead 280-300 138-149 Die 280-300 138-149 Values ae shown in °F and °C respectively.

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 PEMC-4. Once opened, PEMC-4 should be consumed immediately to avoid any premature gelling due to environmental moisture.
- To ensure health and safety, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available and should be consulted prior to use.
