Highly flame retardant—helps to prevent
a fire, or limit the damage if one starts
• Non-halogenated—in the case of a fire,
there are no acid gas emissions which can
damage equipment and buildings
• Low smoke—in the event of fire, people can
locate escape routes, and fire fighters can
quickly find the source of the fire
• Low toxicity—in the event of a fire, people
are not overcome by toxic fumes
• Low dripping—no flaming droplets which
can further propagate the fire or cause injury
• Low emission of corrosive gases when
burned—avoids potential damage to
electrical components and equipment, and
improves human safety
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
