https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-10/Syncure XLPE 200 Series DBDPE-free Grades Product Bulletin.pdf
These DBDPE-free grades satisfy regulatory
and performance demands by using an alternative
flame retardant while maintaining UL 44 compliance
and comparable performance to traditional Syncure
XLPE materials.
With excellent temperature ratings and flame
performance, these flame retardant polymers are
used for insulation in low voltage cable systems,
such as building wires, tray cables, and service
entrance cables.

Avient's New Edgetek™ Materials Optimize Weld Strength, Flame Retardance and Aesthetics for Laser Welded Applications
Besides laser weldable performance, this new series is also formulated with excellent flame retardance, high impact performance, and high-flow characteristics to satisfy unique needs in multiple applications.
In general, flame retardants and colorants often impede the energy needed to melt the polymer during joining, possibly reducing weld strength.

ONCOLOR™ COLORANTS FOR
WIRE & CABLE
Key Features
• A color range for unfilled TPU, providing good
opacity at low addition levels
• Includes colors for filled, non-halogen flame
retardant TPUs that are designed to enhance
color strength
• The same color concentrate reference can be
used for both unfilled and filled TPU resin,
minimizing inventory
• Custom solutions can be formulated for
charging cables to help maintain performance
including good weather and hydrolysis
resistance as well as providing high color
strength for bright colors
• Compared to regular colorants, OnColor™
Colorants for wire and cable can help reduce
dosing levels and maximize the original
properties of the TPU material

Avient Additives for Wire & Cable
• Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives: Flame-
retardant additives that add or improve flame
resistance.
The inclusion of these additives
can help a cable to pass flame resistance tests,
even if the resin originally used is not flame
retardant
• Cesa™ Light Additives: UV light stabilizers that
improve weather resistance and provide long
term protection against weather degradation
• Semi-conductive TPU formulations to
enhance cable performance
• Cesa™ Laser Additives: Includes laser-marking
additives for durable cable marking.
