ECCOH™ 5549/1 is a formulation allowing PVC/PE extruders to be used.
For special extruder or application, please contact PolyOne for detailed processing information.
Pre-Drying
Our formulation is supplied in aluminium foil lined bags or octa-boxes and, providing the packaging has not been
disturbed, the formulation does not require pre-drying. If the formulation has been stored in a moist environment over
a long period then Pre-drying at approximately 70°C (158°F) for 4 hours is recommended in dehumidifyin g dryers.
Colorability
ECCOH™ 5549/1 is a colourable formulation. A full range of polymer specific colour masterbatches are available
for ECCOH™ solutions within PolyOne.
Shelf life
Our material is supplied in aluminium foil lined bags or octa-boxes and, based upon our experience, this ensures a
minimum shelf life of one year - providing the bag is not opened and kept in a cool (0°C < Temp. < 25° C) dry
environment.
PolyOne advises customers to conduct a full homologation program on their final cable construction to
confirm acceptability.
