PolyOne’s ECCOH™ low-smoke and fume, non-halogen flame-retardant material for wire and cable enabled Keystone to quickly manufacture and deliver medium- and low-voltage power cables that complied with safety, performance, reliability and environmental requirements. PolyOne’s low-smoke, non-halogenated ECCOH material met strict specifications for mechanical properties, and successfully passed testing for flame and smoke resistance. PolyOne‘s ECCOH material met Keystone’s requirements for excellent electrical and mechanical properties, long-term aging reliability, flame retardance to improve safety in the event of fire (IEC-60332-24), and a non-halogen formulation to meet environmental standards (IEC-60574).

Also announced are two new Edgetek™ PKE non-halogen flame retardant (NHFR) formulations made with polyketone, which can have a lower carbon footprint compared to polyamide 6 reinforced materials, and are pre-colored in orange for high-voltage connectors in electric vehicles. Also announced will be the availability of two new Edgetek™ PKE polyketone (PK) grades with non-halogen flame retardants (NHFRs).  Electric vehicle connectors require materials with specific performance properties, including chemical resistance, flame retardancy and colorability.

DÜSSELDORF – April 16, 2018 – At Wire 2018 today, PolyOne announced its ECCOH™ non-halogen, highly flame-retardant polymers are helping wire and cable manufacturers meet new European Union (EU) construction product regulations (CPR). Formulated without halogens, these materials do not emit corrosive gases, toxic fumes, or large amounts of smoke during a fire, which allows manufacturers to meet the more demanding CPR Euroclass B2ca and Cca as well as the more common Dca and Eca designations.
