Airtight housings are designed with PolyOne’s Maxxam™ FR and OnFlex™ non-halogenated, flame-retardant solutions.
In addition to its non-halogen formulation, the regulatory-compliant Maxxam solution has a lower density than traditional materials, which reduces material consumption and housing weight for greater production efficiency.
Our solutions lead to energy savings while also reducing material consumption during manufacturing.”
