GLOBAL ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONICS PRODUCER DIFFERENTIATES ITSELF WITH NEW PRODUCTS FEATURING NON-HALOGENATED FLAME- RETARDANT SEALS MOLDED FROM THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS Gaskets are intended to insulate the boxes for electrical safety, and must be flame retardant to reduce the chance of fire caused by sparks or electrical overload. Avient GLS thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material specialists identified a current TPE within the OnFlex™ S HF, non-halogenated, flame retardant portfolio that could be slightly modified to meet the application’s requirements.

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.
