nge Accepted.
THE SOLUTION
Based on earlier successful projects, the OEM design
team again turned to Avient for its unparalleled
portfolio of materials, ranging from specialty polymers
to thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs).
A technical support team at Avient
GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers conducted extensive
compatibility testing to confirm proper bonding and
overmolding onto the rigid substrate.

ECCOH™ Low Smoke & Fume Non-Halogen Formulation 5981
UV and chemically resistant thermoplastic for Teck 90 cable outer jackets
ECCOH 5981 UV thermoplastic is a cost-effective
material for jacketing, combining high environmental
stress crack resistance (ESCR), UV performance, good
shear strength, and flame-retardant properties for
low-voltage, armored cables.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Smoke mitigation
• Flame resistance
• Passes -40° cold impact testing
• Crush resistance
• UV resistance
• Suitable for CSA Teck 90 specification
• Excellent tensile strength (2,910 psi)
• Natural grades for easy colorability
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
This LSFOH thermoplastic meets critical
requirements for low-voltage, armored cable jackets.
