Products - The 8800 Series
ENVIRONMENTAL HALOGEN RETARDANT GRADE
EMPILON® 8800 series compound has excellent mechanical properties, good electrical property, low specific gravity and unique anti-flame ability without PBB and PBDE retardants, and are wildly applied to wire & cable, plug and flat cable for commu- nication applications. Hydrogenated Styrenic Block Copolymer is the main content of this 8800 series compound, its hardness range is from Shore A 65 to 95 and can be processed by ordinary plastic machinery for Injection, extrusion or calendaring etc.
EMPILON® 8800 series products are non-toxic and free of DOP plasticizer. They also comply with the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substance directive in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS 2002/95/EC) and SONY SS-00259 4th that prohibit products that contain Pb, C, Hg, Cr6+, PBB and PBDE etc. They are 100% recyclable and comply with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive (WEEE 2002/95/EC).
EMPILON® 8800 series products retain good mechanical properties after heat, weathering and solvent resistance testing and won’t hydrolyze in water. They need 80℃ ~ 90℃ dehumidified hot air at least 2 hours before any molding process and need to be continually dried during operation. For coloring, please select color master batch based on PE or EVA material with the exception of PVC, non-blooming black color compound is available. Higher screw speed and backpressure are needed for better colorant dispersion.
