LyondellBasell Alathon® M5370WC High Density Polyethylene
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); High Density (HDPE); High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Extruded

Material Notes: Applications
ALATHON M 5370WC is a natural, high density, polyethylene copolymer resin with a narrow molecular weight distribution formulated for use as primary insulation for coaxial and control cable applications including gas-injected or chemically expanded insulation. M 5370WC provides high impact strength and stress crack resistance, excellent color, low odor and good processability.

Processing Techniques
M 5370WC, like other thermoplastic polyolefin resins, can be extruded as wire and cable insulation using a conventional extruder. Below are suggested extrusion conditions for M 5370WC. These conditions are intended as general guidelines only and are not optimum values, since manufacturing conditions such as extruder type and size affect the processing of thermoplastic resins.

This product is from the former Equistar product line.

Key Words: HDPE; Fiber Optic/Coaxial; Insulation
