Lubrizol¡¯s Estane Engineered Polymers offer zero halogen flame-retardant compounds which combine good mechanical properties and processing. For some specific applications in building and construction environments and mass transit construction, flame retardancy and low-smoke fire materials are necessary. Lubrizol offers aselection of halogenated and non-halogenated flame retardant compounds for cable jacketing materials, injections molded parts and other extrusion profiles.
Benefits of Estane Engineered Polymers
In the last decade, environmental groups have lobbied increasingly to bring down the emissions of carcinogenic dioxins and halogens, as well as to decrease the presence of certain stabilizers, plasticizers and flame retardants. This has had its effects on the use of PVC in the wire and cable industry, as well as halogenated flame retardants in thermoplastic polyurethanes(TPUs). The European Union has shifted its focus to non-halogenated flame-retardant compounds in legislation and for specifications. The European cable specifications are less stringent on standards for ignitability and flame propagation to attain the objective of ¡°Zero Halogen/Low Smoke.¡±
Lubrizol is responding to this challenge by continuing to develop and introduce Estane Engineered Polymers with zero halogen content while maintaining the essential mechanical and processing properties inherent to TPUs and other engineered polymers.
