GLS™ TPEs with Antimicrobial Technologies This specialty line of GLS™ thermoplastic elastomers has imbedded antimicrobial additives that inhibit bacterial growth by 99.9% or more (log 3) and resist fungal growth to protect molded plastic parts. Developed for the preservation of high-touch surfaces and applications, these formulations contain antimicrobial additives that continuously inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungus, and molds that cause odor and detrimental aesthetic and mechanical property changes to the finished plastic part. By protecting the finished part against microbe growth, the formulations in this product family offer a better consumer experience through preserved surface integrity, increased product durability, and minimized odors.

ECCOH™ Specialty Solutions Helping Cable Manufacturers Meet CPR Standards PRODUCT BULLETIN ECCOH™ Low Smoke and Fume Non-Halogen (LSFOH) formulations offer a range of non- halogen, flame retardant solutions that enable manufacturers to meet the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) standards set out by the harmonized European Standard, EN13501. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Highly flame retardant: Flame retardancy helps prevent fire and to limit damage if one starts • Non-halogenated: During a fire, there are no ingredients to cause acidic gas emissions from the polymer, which can damage equipment and buildings • Low smoke: In the event of fire, people are more able to find the escape exit and fire fighters can quickly find the source of the fire • Low toxicity: People are not likely to be overcome by toxic fumes • Low dripping: No flaming droplets are likely to propagate a fire or injure evacuees • Manufacturing efficiency: Easy processing with a smooth surface finish MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS The ECCOH range of specialty polymers help manufacturers meet CPR requirements for power, control and communication cables (including optical fiber cables) used in buildings. Optical fiber sheathing1 5702 SEPAP 8.0 10.5 140 47 Cca Specially formulated for optical fiber applications where the SEPAP UV test is required.
