They also have good electrical performance, are compatible with either DC or AC power supply, and pass flame retardant performance to EN 50618 and IEC 60332-1 standards.  

Syncure XLPE formulations are UL-44, UL-4703, and CSA 22.2 certified materials with FT2, FV1, and VW-1 flame retardant ratings.

They can also be customized for specific performance needs, such as laser welding and flame retardant properties.

The manufacturer was struggling to find a replacement material with excellent chemical resistance and a high flame retardant rating. From there, the Avient team identified material options that offered high flame retardancy and finally, requirements for processing flexibility and colorability were applied.

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.
