AXELERON™ FO 8864 BK CPD is a high molecular weight, linear medium-density polyethylene black compound ("CPD") developed for fiber optic and conventional metallic conductor cable jacketing applications. The compound has very good processability and provides a tough cable jacket. AXELERON™ FO 8864 BK CPD also provides excellent resistance to environmental stress cracking and to weathering and thermal-oxidative degradation.

AXELERON™ FO 8864 BK CPD provides excellent low temperature optic signal attenuation performance in fiber optic cable jacketing applications. The compound combines reduced extrusion shrinkback stress with excellent tensile modulus properties. This minimizes the contractive forces exerted by the cable jacket on the optic cable core during temperature cycling.
