Halguard® LS HFFR for Electrical & Electronics
The Halguard family of low smoke, halogen-free flame retardant compounds enable compliance to IEC and UL specifications for smoke generation and flame spread as well as mechanical and environmental performance. These compounds are optimized for physical properties, flexibility, and ease of extrusion on standard PVC equipment.
Our Halguard compounds are particularly well suited for such applications as wires, cables, and cords for consumer electronics and appliances.
Cables made from Halguard compounds maintain excellent optical attenuation over a broad range of temperatures and stay flexible at lower temperatures compared to most other materials.
Halguard 58000 - 58300 Series - High Performance HFFR Compounds
The halogen-free flame retardant jacketing compounds of the Halguard 58000-58300 series exhibit a higher level of flame retardance than other high-performance HFFR materials without compromising physical or electrical properties. These compounds are ideal for data center cables, control cables, energy cables, and other demanding applications where low smoke generation and minimal flame spread are key.
Halguard 58600 Series - HFFR Compounds
The Halguard 58600 series features compounds for general-purpose jacketing applications, including compounds with enhanced flame retardancy as well as lower post-extrusion shrinkage. Compounds included in the 58600 series are more economical than premium compounds while incurring little compromise in performance properties. They can be processed on standard extrusion equipment. These compounds are suitable for cable used in subway, mass transit, cell tower, data center, and infrastructure applications, as well as internal wiring in electrical and electronic equipment.
Halguard E 59000 Series - HFFR Elastomers
The Halguard E 59000 series, our most flexible LS HFFR formulations, excel in mechanical and electrical performance. With flame performance similar to that of polyolefin LS HFFR compounds and greater oil-resistance, Halguard E 59000 Series compounds exhibit lower melt viscosity and avoid the processing challenges posed by traditional compounds containing high loadings of metal hydrate fillers.
Wire & Cable
Our halogen-free, flame-retardant products enable cables to meet IEC and North American specifications for smoke generation and flame spread. Halguard compounds can be used as jacket for Cat. 5e, 6, 6A, 6+ Data cables; RG 59, RG 6 Coaxial cables; Type SE, SEO, SEOW, SEOO, SEOOW flexible cords; and optical fiber distribution and breakout cables. In addition to these specific applications, Halguard compounds are used as insulation and jacket in a wide variety of custom cable designs.
