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. During a fire, ECCOH formulations eliminate the production of corrosive gas and toxic fume emissions, and generate a low amount of smoke, meaning they meet the highly demanding Euroclass designations—Class B2ca and Cca—as well as being suitable for other classes such as Dca or Eca. ECCOH LSFOH solutions can also achieve specified performance to additional criteria such as smoke production, acidity and flaming droplets.

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. This low smoke and fume non-halogen (LSFOH) grade was developed to provide comparable performance to market-leading jacket materials, including PVC, while offering additional benefits to cable manufacturers needing to meet CSA Teck 90 certification. 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.
