Casico FR4805 by Borealis A/S is a Polyolefin, Unspecified (Polyolefin, Unspecified) plastic material with filler: Unspecified Filler\Reinfor..
General Information
Product Description
Casico FR4805 is a thermoplastic, low smoke zero halogen (LSZH)flame retardant, natural jacketing compound combining with high mechanical strength, toughness and excellent extrusion properties.

It is based on the novel technology, Casico, containing inorganic filler and a novel char-forming additive which confer flame retardancy with very limited smoke generation.

The high operating temperatures and durability (abrasion resistance, hardness) of Casico FR4805 makes it an attractive solution for cables installed in tunnels and ducts. Colored jackets can be manufactured by the addition of colored master batches. It can be used in areas sensitive to smoke or corrosive and toxic combustion products. For most cable constructions, Casico FR4805 has sufficient flame retardancy to satisfy single wire vertical burning tests.

Casico FR4805 meets the applicable requirements below using sound commercial extrusion practice and testing procedures:
  • BS 7655 LTS1-4
  • EN 50290-2-27
  • EN 50363-8 TM7
  • IEC 60227
  • VDE 0207 Teil 24 (HM2, HM4 & HM5)
