PE 3500 Series

Breen’s PE 3500 Series are specifically designed for use with moisture cure crosslink compounds, including those utilizing ambient cure technologies.  The carrier resin is proprietary polyethylene that has excellent performance and compatibility characteristics.  3500 Series products may also be used with conventional polyethylene compounds. These products are not recommended for use with CV XLPE compounds as the extrusion temperatures normally used in such processes are too low to adequately melt and mix these products.  3500 Series colors were developed in conjunction with Borealis® and have been approved by Borealis® for use with Visico/Ambicat® compounds.  These color concentrates are designed to match designated Munsell colors, as specified within EIA-359-A “Standard Colors for Wire Identification and Color Coding, Wire and Cable Limits.”  The recommended letdown level is 1% however Breen recommends that customers perform tests to determine the actual level of color concentrate needed for the compound(s) being used.

Breen’s 3500 Series colors are formulated with pigments and other raw materials that have been demonstrated to have little or no adverse impact in crosslink rate and scorch when used with Moisture cure compounds.  3500 Series colors do not intentionally contain diarylide pigments, lead, hexavalent chromium, cadmium, mercury or other restricted or prohibited materials.  They are compliant, as supplied, with RoHS, REACH SVHC, CONEG, California Proposition 65, WEEE and all automotive industry chemical inventories.  Recommended applications include Wire & Cable insulation and jacketing, tubing and PEX conduit.
