After evaluating and approving the material’s physical properties, the manufacturer also requested that it was formulated to be flame-retardant. Avient’s development team went back to work and quickly developed a flame-retardant grade that meets UL requirements for a V0 rating. In addition, Avient’s global presence supported the manufacturer’s needs across the globe, saving time and money while ensuring quality, consistency and reliability.

Total polymer solutions range from flame retardant, non-halogenated, low smoke polymers and lightweight foam to cross-linkable polyethylene and high-temperature materials. ECCOH™ Non-Halogenated Formulations: Highly flame retardant with extremely low toxicity and smoke density  Avient Announces Quarterly Dividend...

With excellent mechanical properties, these TPEs offer UV resistance, low compression set, flame retardance, and weatherability. Flame retardant Halogen free, flame retardant TPEs formulated to provide good flexibility, lower moisture absorption, good insulation, and RoHS compliance.

Also announced will be the availability of two new Edgetek™ PKE polyketone (PK) grades with non-halogen flame retardants (NHFRs).  Electric vehicle connectors require materials with specific performance properties, including chemical resistance, flame retardancy and colorability. For further environmental protection, the new Edgetek™ PKE materials include an NHFR additive, providing flame retardant performance to the UL94 V0 standard.
