Homepage // News Center // Syncure™ XLPE Portfolio from Avient Expands with DBDPE-free Flame- Retardant Grades The Syncure XLPE 200 Series provides a DBDPE-free alternative while providing comparable performance to Avient’s traditional XLPE materials, including excellent flame performance and UL 44 compliance. The Syncure™ XLPE 200 Series is manufactured in the U.S. and commercially available globally.  

PRODUCT BULLETIN Syncure™ XLPE Cross-linkable Polyethylene Formulations One-graft solutions for wire and cable applications The Syncure™ XLPE system is a two-step, silane- grafted, moisture cross-linkable polyethylene solution for wire and cable jacketing and insulation. Syncure XLPE formulations allow for two distinct advantages over regular polyethylene: greatly improved heat resistance and oil resistance. Produced by two-step Sioplas technology, Syncure XLPE offers the processor significant advantages and economies over organic peroxide, radiation, and reactor copolymer crosslinking processes.

PRODUCT BULLETIN Syncure™ XLPE Cross-linkable Polyethylene Formulations DBDPE-free solutions for low voltage cable systems The Syncure™ XLPE 200 Series is comprised of engineered, moisture cross-linkable solutions formulated without decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE). 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.
