Borealis Casico™ FR6083 Reduced Fire Hazard Jacketing Compound

Casico™ FR6083 is a thermoplastic, low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) flame retardant, UV stabilized, natural jacketing compound combining with excellent extrusion properties. The composition is based on the elements Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Silicon and Calcium. Compounds based on these elements will therefore be the only significant constituents of the combustion fumes. Other elements may be present in concentrations less than 0.1%. Applications: jacket for energy cables. The principal feature of this compound is the high physical strength and toughness. It can be used in areas sensitive to smoke or corrosive and toxic combustion products. For most cable constructions, Casico™ FR6083 has sufficient flame retardancy to satisfy single wire vertical burning tests.
