Technical Details & Test Data
- Processing
AquaGraft® 16-6008R engineered for processing on conventional extrusion equipment. It is recommended that these products be processed using a greater than 20:1 extruder with a screw with adequate mixing sections. The compound supplied is in the cleanest state and is of the highest quality; however, the use of a breaker plate with a screen pack of approximately 20/40 or 20/60 mesh is recommended for optimal rheological flow and steady back pressure.
Pre-heating of the conductor is recommended depending on cable construction and specific processing conditions.
Pre-drying of the FMB-6008R is generally recommended prior to use for 4 hrs. at 120F, or to a -40°C dew point.
When extruded in proper ratios, this system will cure with exposure to moisture at ambient temperatures, however, accelerated cure rates may be achieved with exposure of extruded cable to water bath or steam sauna. Cure rates are dependent on cable wall thickness and as such adequate cure times may differ based on cable constructions.

Packaging & Availability
Storage & Handling
- Storage
A high level of care in storage to minimize exposure to moisture is recommended to ensure that there is no degradation of the PEMC-1. Once opened, PEMC-1 should be consumed immediately to avoid any premature gelling due to environmental moisture.
- Handling
- To ensure health and safety, Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are available and should be consulted prior to use.
