Further,
according to international standard IEC 60670-1, the materials
used in the wall boxes have to pass a Glow Wire Flammability
Index (GWFI) 850°C testing (IEC 60695-2-12) at the application
thickness, and 960°C at 2mm.
Additional advantages of these TPEs include:
• Highly flame retardant without the inclusion
of halogens
• Low temperature flexibility
• Excellent processability
• Good abrasion resistance
• Excellent colorability
• Operating temperatures from -50° C to +100° C
• All grades meet UL94-V0 at 1.5 mm
• All grades pass IEC 60695-2-12 Glow Wire Flammability
Index (GWFI) at 960°C
