Features & Benefits

Materials Features
Key Features
  • OREVAC® OE808 has been designed to develop a reliable bonding strength in coextrusion processes between polyethylene or ethylene copolymers and different materials among which polyamides and EVOH. Containing a higher amount of grafted reactive functionalities compared to standard LLDPE based coextrusion tie resins.
  •  OREVAC® OE808 is also an effective coupling agent for halogen-free flame retardant compounds (HFFR) using high loadings of mineral fillers, such as aluminum trihydrate (ATH) or magnesium hydroxide (MDH).
  •  OREVAC® OE808 can be used pure or blended with other polyolefins. It can be processed within different coextrusion technologies including cast film, blown film, sheet calendaring, blow molding or tube extrusion.

Processing Parameters

OREVAC® OE808 is suitable for the production of cable compounds with most common types of equipment (internal mixer, co-kneader or twin screw extruder). OREVAC® OE808 is also 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
160-180°C 180-200°C 200-220°C 210-230°C 220-230°C 220-230°C 220-240°C

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