SUPEROHM® 3754 (3748-11)

MEDIUM VOLTAGE CROSSLINKABLE EPR ELECTRICAL INSULATION

COMPOUND SUITABLE FOR APPLICATIONS UP TO 35 kV.

DESCRIPTION
Orange polymeric composition in pellet form, based on EPR rubber containing peroxide curing agent, ready
for extrusion in a conventional CV or dry cure extrusion line.

APPLICATIONS
Cables insulated with SUPEROHM® 3754 (3748-11) are suitable for industrial, power, mining, distribution,
and other medium voltage applications for wire and cable products rated up to 35 kV or higher depending
on specification requirements.

PROCESSING
SUPEROHM® 3754 (3748-11) compound is engineered to be processed on conventional extrusion
equipment. It is recommended that this product is processed using a shallow screw, cross channel
obstruction such as mixing rings should be avoided. Metering screw with 2.5-3:1 compression ratio in 20/1
extruders should produce satisfactory results. The compound supplied is in the cleanest state and is of the
highest quality; however, the use of a breaker plate with a screen pack of approximately 20/40 or 20/60
mesh is recommended for optimal rheological flow and steady back pressure.

Pre-drying of the compound is not necessary, provided that the compound has been stored unopened in a
cool, dry area.

The following conditions are given as a guide for processing (single extrusion):

Temperature Profile: F C
Screw: 170-180 77-82
Zone 1 (feed): 210-220 99-105
Zone 2: 210-220 99-105
Zone 3: 210-220 99-105
Zone 4: 210-220 99-105
Crosshead: 220-230 105-110

DELIVERY
Form: Pellets
Package: 1,600 pounds (726 Kg) per box.

CERTIFICATION
Certified Test Results including physical test data are included with each shipment.

HANDLING
To ensure health and safety, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available and should be consulted
prior to use.

STORAGE
SUPEROHM® 3754 (3748-11) containers should be stored at temperatures below 50C (120F) in a dry area
to avoid massing of pellets. Product is recommended to be used within 12 months.
