DÜSSELDORF – April 16, 2018 – At Wire 2018 today, PolyOne announced its ECCOH™ non-halogen, highly flame-retardant polymers are helping wire and cable manufacturers meet new European Union (EU) construction product regulations (CPR). Formulated without halogens, these materials do not emit corrosive gases, toxic fumes, or large amounts of smoke during a fire, which allows manufacturers to meet the more demanding CPR Euroclass B2ca and Cca as well as the more common Dca and Eca designations.

Ranging from non-halogen, low smoke, and high temperature thermoplastics to inherently flame-resistant vinyl and specialty colorants and additives, the PolyOne portfolio is designed to comply with diverse global regulatory specifications for safety and performance.
