Petrothene LR686001 is selected by customers for use as insulation for foam/skin telephone singles, and is a natural, expandable, high density polyethylene compound containing a chemical blowing agent. LR686001 is highly stabilized to ensure OIT retention and thermal stability during processing, oven aging, and in pedestal testing. This product contains a processing aid and a metal deactivator to prevent degradation from copper while the cable is in service.
Petrothene LR686001 meets the requirements of the following: ASTM D 1248, Type III, Class A, Category 4, Grade E9; Federal LP390C, Type II, Class H, Category 4, Grade 1; REA PE-89.
