Fluoropolymers are a family of exceptional, high-performance materials that are widely used today – and for good reason, since they are stable plastics that resist degradation under harsh conditions and are inherently flame retardant.
Today, fluoropolymers serve a broad range of applications with their unique material properties, including chemical inertness, low friction, weatherability, natural flame retardance, temperature resistance, and barrier properties.
For example, fluoropolymers are used as coatings for wire and cable found in buildings and aircraft thanks to their natural flame retardance.

Cesa™ Fiber Additives Flame Retardants for Synthetic Fibers and Nonwovens Ignitability and flame spread, with or without an additional radiant heat source, are a particular concern for fibers used in indoor applications, or indeed anywhere where human lives could be endangered.
Our Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio includes flame retardant solutions as additive concentrates which are incorporated into the polymer during the spin-dyeing process.
CHEMISTRY Avient’s non-halogen flame retardant systems for fibers can be applied to decrease the flammability of polypropylene, while nitrogen and phosphorous based chemistries are used to impart flame retardant properties to polyester and polyamide PA 6 and PA 6.6.

ECCOH™ XL Cross-Linkable Solutions (8001) Moisture-cured cross-linkable, low smoke and fume, non-halogen (LSFOH) formulations for flame retardant wire and cable applications ECCOH™ XL Cross-Linkable Solutions (ECCOH XL 8001) are non-halogenated flame retardant formulations for the manufacturing of thermoset cable insulation.
Manufacturers of cable insulation who require flame retardance in their products benefit from ECCOH XL 8001.
The low toxicity of the gases which are emitted, and the reduced smoke density created when these materials burn, helps people to escape burning environments and also limits damage to property. • Highly flame retardant—helps to prevent a fire, or limit the damage if one starts • Non-halogenated—in the case of a fire, there are no acid gas emissions which can damage equipment and buildings • Low smoke—in the event of fire, people can locate escape routes, and fire fighters can quickly find the source of the fire • Low toxicity—in the event of a fire, people are not overcome by toxic fumes • Low dripping—no flaming droplets which can further propagate the fire or cause injury • Low emission of corrosive gases when burned—avoids potential damage to electrical components and equipment, and improves human safety MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS The ECCOH XL 8001 is a flame retardant material for thermoset cable insulation.
