POMMERLOCH, Luxembourg – February 27, 2025 – Avient Corporation, an innovator of materials solutions, announces an expansion of its ECCOH™ XL Cross-Linkable Flame Retardant Solutions with the launch of ECCOH XL 8054. Developed for low smoke and fume wire and cable insulation, this solution can meet stringent electrical and electronic fire safety regulations in Europe.

One of the key advantages of ECCOH XL 8054 is its excellent processability due to its ability to meet the Commission Electrotechnique Internationale (CEI) EN 50363-0:2015 standards, namely G17 and G18, and adhere to the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) for enhanced fire safety. Compared to traditional elastomeric compounds, it can be processed using standard single-screw extrusion equipment, eliminating the need for a continuous vulcanization (CV) line. This streamlined manufacturing process can not only reduce production costs but also increase line speed, offering a cost-effective and efficient solution for manufacturers.

ECCOH XL 8054 also excels in mechanical properties, with high elongation at break and outstanding performance in the Hot Set Test at 250°C. With these attributes, it can be used in a variety of applications, including shipbuilding, railways, building and construction, and solar cables.

"We are dedicated to providing a smooth integration of ECCOH XL 8054 for our customers,” said Hermann Fuechter, Senior Marketing & Product Manager EMEA, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. “Our advanced development and technical services teams offer a collaborative strategy to optimize equipment and processes, enabling a seamless transition and enhanced performance."
