Product Description
Casico FR6082 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. Casico FR6082 contains 2.5% well-dispersed carbon black to ensure excellent weathering resistance.

The principle 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 FR6082 has sufficient flame retardancy to satisfy single wire vertical burning tests.

Casico FR6082 meets the applicable requirements below using sound commercial extrusion practice and testing procedures:
