These materials expand its Low Smoke and Fume Non-Halogen (LSFOH) portfolio, and provide new solutions that can reduce waste by extending cable lifetime.
ECCOH 5978 UV formulations combine high flame retardancy (up to CPR class B2ca, s1, a1, d) and good char forming properties with great ESCR.
ECCOH 5978 UV formulations can be applied to direct buried cables and other duct or indoor applications, in which additional flame and low dripping performance are required and/or where cable fixations and movements create extra stress on the cable jacket.
