- HIGHLIGHTS
Aegis® nylon jacket compounds are designed to provide protection from physical and chemical damage during installation and throughout the service life of a wire. When a nylon jacket is used to protect insulation, the thickness of the insulation can be reduced. The resulting smaller outside diameter allows for installation of more wires in a given size conduit.; Aegis® nylon jacket compounds are formulated to offer excellent processability, making them suitable for use on any manufacturing line. As part of a wire or cable construction, Aegis® nylon jacket compounds help enable wire and cable producers to attain UL certifications and markings for their products.; Excellent protection from grease, oil and gasoline; Abrasion, cut and impact resistance; Lowest fuming during wire extrusion; UL QMTT2 Listed (building wire applications); UL QMTM2 Listed (plenum cable applications)
- Processing Guidelines
This product is supplied in sealed containers and drying prior to processing is not required. However, higher moisture is the primary cause of processing issues. If drying becomes necessary, a dehumidifying or desiccant dryer operating at 70ºC (158ºF) is recommended. Drying time is dependent on moisture level.. Barrel: 249-266ºC (480-510ºF) Adapter: 260-266ºC (500-510ºF) Die: 260-266°C (500-510°F) Process Melt Temperature: 260-270ºC (500-518ºF)
