To prepare samples with an active ingredient, a linear low-density poly(ethylene) masterbatch “AMPE 143101” 2 ZANDER ET AL. The samples were then inoculated with nutrient broth containing 2–5.5 � 105 colony-forming units (CFUs) per milliliter of the organ- ism of interest. CFU, colony-forming unit; ZPT, zinc pyrithione 6 ZANDER ET AL.

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. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Highly flame retardant: Flame retardancy helps prevent fire and to limit damage if one starts • Non-halogenated: During a fire, there are no ingredients to cause acidic gas emissions from the polymer, which can damage equipment and buildings • Low smoke: In the event of fire, people are more able to find the escape exit and fire fighters can quickly find the source of the fire • Low toxicity: People are not likely to be overcome by toxic fumes • Low dripping: No flaming droplets are likely to propagate a fire or injure evacuees • Manufacturing efficiency: Easy processing with a smooth surface finish MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS The ECCOH range of specialty polymers help manufacturers meet CPR requirements for power, control and communication cables (including optical fiber cables) used in buildings.
