AXELERON™ FO 8864 NT CPD

Generic Family: Polyethylene, Medium Density • Supplied by: The Dow Chemical Company
AXELERON™ FO 8864 NT CPD is a high molecular weight medium-density polyethylene compound ("CPD") recommended for fiber optic and conventional metallic conductor cable jacketing applications. The compound can be colored and has very good extrusion processability. AXELERON™ FO 8864 NT CPD provides a tough cable jacketing with excellent environmental stress-cracking resistance. The compound incorporates UV stabilization to improve resistance to direct sunlight exposure.

AXELERON™ FO 8864 NT CPD provides excellent low temperature optic signal attenuation performance in fiber optic cable jacketing applications. This is achieved by the combination of reduced extrusion shrinkback stress with optimized low temperature tensile modulus properties.
