    Technical Details & Test Data

    Processing

    Excelene 3125 compounds are engineered to be processed on conventional extrusion equipment. Use of a L/D 15:1 to 24:1 extruder with a single flight, general purpose, tapered screw for proper homogenization and fluxing of Excelene 3125 compound is recommended to obtain optimal output and properties. 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.


    Pre-drying of the compound is not necessary, provided that the compound has been stored unopened in a cool, dry area.
    The following conditions are given as a guide for processing:

    Temperature Profile:

     (104°C) flat profile is recommended when extruding Excelene 3125.

    Packaging & Availability
