New European Fire Safety Standards Met With PolyOne’s ECCOH™ Formulations for Wire and Cable DÜSSELDORF – April 16, 2018 – At Wire 2018 today, PolyOne announced its ECCOH™ non-halogen, highly flame-retardant polymers are helping wire an

Flame Retardant Formulations Leading-edge, fire safety performance solutions for your applications. Flame Retardant Polyolefin: Maxxam™ FR

Flame Retardant Additives: Cesa™ Mitigate fire hazards with a wide range of efficient and adaptable flame-retardant concentrates Flame Retardant Polyolefin: Maxxam™ FR

Our Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio includes flame retardant solutions as additive concentrates which are incorporated into the polymer during the spin-dyeing process. CHEMISTRY Avient’s non-halogen flame retardant systems for fibers can be applied to decrease the flammability of polypropylene, while nitrogen and phosphorous based chemistries are used to impart flame retardant properties to polyester and polyamide PA 6 and PA 6.6. KEY BENEFITS • Very good compatibility and dispersibility • Durable fire resistance with limited to no impact on color • Fire resistance and spinnability tested for efficacy in our labs • Can be combined with colors and with other additives (e.g., light stabilizers) into a single product for convenience PRODUCT BULLETIN Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.

ECCOH™ XL Cross-Linkable Solutions (8001) Moisture-cured cross-linkable, low smoke and fume, non-halogen (LSFOH) formulations for flame retardant wire and cable applications ECCOH™ XL Cross-Linkable Solutions (ECCOH XL 8001) are non-halogenated flame retardant formulations for the manufacturing of thermoset cable insulation. Manufacturers of cable insulation who require flame retardance in their products benefit from ECCOH XL 8001. 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 The ECCOH XL 8001 is a flame retardant material for thermoset cable insulation.

Our engineered thermoplastics have exceptional mechanical, fire and electrical characteristics ideal for replacing thermoset plastics in circuit breakers and other applications. Bergamid™ FR Non-Halogen Flame Retardant Formulations Maxxam™ Flame Retardant Polyolefin Formulations

Fire-retardant solutions

They feature excellent color fastness at low loading levels, and can include flame retardants to meet stringent safety standards. Formulations can pass weathering standard ASTM G154 and AATCC 186, and fire resistance standard FMVSS302.  

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. Performance Requirements • Physical performance • Fire performance (Euroclass) 2. Advanced flame retardancy and easy processing performance.
