Product Description
FR4847 is a polyethylene based striping compound for primary automotive wires.

FR4847 is designed and manufactured with advanced material and processing technology to provide enhanced stabilization and lower particulate matter. This compound was designed to have high compatibility with our chemically crosslinkable non-halogen flame retardant insulation compounds.

FR4847 is intended for use as non-halogen flame retardant polyethylene compound in striping applications for primary automotive wires. It would be used in conjunction with our chemically crosslinkable non-halogen flame retardant insulation compounds.
