DELTAPLAST PE
Deltacolor has developed a specific range of PE-based masterbatches designed to cover the technical colour needs for the telecom and data cable industries.
This range of masterbatches obtain an optimal dilution on the cellular PE jacketing, skin and insulation jacketing. The composition of these masterbatches exert a minimum influence on the dielectric constant of the cable.
Technical Characteristics
- Colour: for the cable industry colours are matched to RAL 840HR, IEC, BS 6746C, MUNSELL or NCS, the maximum deviation from our standard colours being
E 1.5. Deltacolor can develop any special colour by customer request, the minimum order being 25 kg.
- Dose: typically from 1.0% to 3.0%, depending on the area of application, thickness of the jacketing or insulation, or required opacity (100, 150, 200 microns).
- Light fastness: the light resistance test was conducted according to DIN 54003 blue scale (1 = very low : 8 = very high). Deltacolor has developed masterbatches incorporating UV Absorbers on the formulation, to protect the mechanical characteristics of the base polymer. These masterbatches contain "UV" on the product name and their dose is individually adjusted.
- Heat resistance: all the pigments used in the production of Deltacolor masterbatches have been selected to be process-temperature resistant. On the technical data sheet this parameter is shown for every masterbatch.
- Packaging: PE sacks with 25 kg palletised to 1.000 kg net weight. Special packing configurations are available under request.
