KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Highly flame retardant: Flame retardancy helps prevent fire and to limit damage if one starts • Non-halogenated: During a fire, there are no ingredients to cause acidic gas emissions from the polymer, which can damage equipment and buildings • Low smoke: In the event of fire, people are more able to find the escape exit and fire fighters can quickly find the source of the fire • Low toxicity: People are not likely to be overcome by toxic fumes • Low dripping: No flaming droplets are likely to propagate a fire or injure evacuees • Manufacturing efficiency: Easy processing with a smooth surface finish MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS The ECCOH range of specialty polymers help manufacturers meet CPR requirements for power, control and communication cables (including optical fiber cables) used in buildings.
