ECCOH™ Low Smoke & Fume Non-Halogen Formulation 5981 UV and chemically resistant thermoplastic for Teck 90 cable outer jackets ECCOH 5981 UV thermoplastic is a cost-effective material for jacketing, combining high environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR), UV performance, good shear strength, and flame-retardant properties for low-voltage, armored cables. This low smoke and fume non-halogen (LSFOH) grade was developed to provide comparable performance to market-leading jacket materials, including PVC, while offering additional benefits to cable manufacturers needing to meet CSA Teck 90 certification. With these high-performing mechanical properties, and the ability to customize for specific application requirements, the ECCOH 5981 formulation provides an LSFOH material that is especially suitable in cables used in confined spaces, such as mines, industrial plants, and transit systems.
