Effective flame retardant for HFFR/PVC cable compounds

EcoPiren ® is a natural magnesium hydroxide obtained by XRF separation and innovative milling of brucite mineral. EcoPiren ® is used as an effective flame retardant and smoke suppressant in halogen free and PVC cable compounds. It can be applied in compounds of cable sheathing, bedding or insulation as a single flame retardant or in mixture with synthetic aluminum hydroxide (HFFR) or with antimony trioxide and zinc borate (PVC).

Application of EcoPiren ® achieves the highest grades of fireproof classifications in polymer systems. ⸰ Prevention of burning droplet formation ⸰ Reduction of smoke toxicity ⸰ Effective smoke suppression ⸰ High productivity due to high decomposition temperature (330 °C) ⸰ Good processability ⸰ Improvement of the CPR category of the cable ⸰ Optimization of the cost of compound ⸰ Naturally occurring and environmentally friendly
