Key Features
  • OREVAC® 18341 has been designed to develop a reliable bonding strength between polyethylene or ethylene copolymers and mineral fillers such as aluminum trihydrate (ATH) or magnesium hydroxide (MDH). It is an effective coupling agent for halogen- free flame retardant compounds using high loadings of mineral fillers, such as compounds for insulation and sheathina of wires and cables.
  • OREVAC® 18341 can also be used as a tie layer in pipe-coating technology for multi- layer structures. It has been designed to develop a reliable bonding strength onto FBE
    (Fusion Bonded Epoxy) steel pipe protective layer
  • In packaging market, OREVAC® 18341 develops a reliable bonding strength incoextrusion processes between polyethylene and different materials (PA, EVOH ...).
    Containing a higher amount of grafted reactive functionalities compared to standard LLDPE based coextrusion tie resins, it can be used blended with other polyolefins.

Processing Parameters

OREVAC® 18341 is suitable for the production of cable compounds with most common types of equipment (internal mixer, co-kneader, twin screw extruder). When used for pipe coating
technology, OREVAC® 18341 is to be processed like a standard polyethylene resin. Typical extrusion temperature settings could be:

Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone 3 Zone 4 Exit Fittings-Channels Die
180-190°C 190-200°C 200-210°C 210-220°C 220-230°C 220-240°C 220-240°C

Final profile and settings will depend on the line and the multi-layer structure being run.
