Eltex® PF6160AP

Non stabilised Linear Low density polyethylene flake (free flowing powder).

Benefits & Features
ELTEX ® PF6160AP is a non stabilised Linear Low density polyethylene flake (free flowing powder) grade manufactured by Ineos Olefins and Polymers Europe containing hexene-1 as the comonomer produced with a metallocene catalyst.
5 to 20 % of ELTEX ® PF6160AP powder can be used in combination with LLDPE and LDPE pellets as absorber of X-linking agent of Low Voltage Silane Crosslinked insulation.
In addition ELTEX ® PF6160AP can be used at a level of 100 % for low voltage silane crosslinked insulation by adding 0.7 -0.9 % of vinyl trimethoxysilane, a suitable peroxide and a crosslinking catalyst. Commercial mixtures can be used for this purpose.
The absorption level and the absorption conditions will depend on the nature of the liquid to be dispersed. In most of the cases, a 10 % in weight of liquid can be easily absorbed in ELTEX ® PF6160AP.

• Good level of porosity which induces a good liquid X-linking agents absorption (silane, peroxide…)

• Higher X-linking efficiency with a good X-linking agent dispersion to the benefit of lower X-linking agent content

• Suitable melt index and density for easy dispersion in most of polyethylenes

• Excellent flake morphology with high diameter and low fines content: free flowing powder induces a good extruder feeding and a good dispersion in the barrel

• Higher output and productivity

• High bulk density to the benefit of easy handling and transfer of the powder

Applications
ELTEX ® PF6160AP represents an interesting balance of properties for applications as liquids carrier in reactive processing.

• Carrier for color concentrates, master-batches

• Crosslinked Wire & Cable insulation

• Textile coating

• Hot & Cold PEX Pipe
