flame retardants, antistatic or laser marking
additives.
Samples containing Cesa Light Additives
(CC01, CC02, CC03) showed limited Delta b (Db)
variations, while the non-UV stabilized sample
showed a high Db variation and visual yellowing.

FireCon™ CPE
Chlorinated Polyethylene Jacketing Materials
FireCon™ CPE formulations are flame-retardant
jacketing materials designed for use in low-voltage
power and control cables which are routinely
exposed to harsh chemicals and low temperatures.
The materials are compounded with fillers, flame-
retardants, additives and stabilizers to provide a
customized desired level of performance.
