XD2200
125 °C low-smoke halogen-free polyolefin wire compound
125 °CCross-linkable polyolefin (LSZH) FT2 (UL1581) RoHS REACH
Overview
XD2200 is a 125 °C low-smoke halogen-free flame-retardant wire and cable compound. Colourable and polyolefin-based, internally mixed and pelletized, it is widely used for cable insulation and jackets and has passed environmental testing to the latest RoHS and REACH requirements.
Key features
- 125 °C low-smoke halogen-free, FT2 flame rating
- RoHS and REACH compliant
- Low brittleness temperature (< -40 °C)
- High volume resistivity for stable insulation
- Colourable, for insulation and jackets
Typical applications
Wire and cable insulation Cable jackets and sheaths Low-smoke halogen-free building and electronic wire General-purpose flame-retardant wiring
