Casico FR6082 is a thermoplastic, reduced fire hazard, zero halogen black jacketing compound combined with high mechanical strength, toughness and excellent extrusion properties. The composition is based on the elements Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Silicon and Calcium. Compounds based on these elements will therefore be the only significant constituents of the combustion fumes. Other elements may be present in concentrations less than 0.1%.

Casico FR6082 contains 2,5% well dispersed furnace black of nominal particle size less than 25 nanometres in order to ensure excellent weathering resistance.

Applications
Casico FR6082 is designed for:

• Jacket for energy cables

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.
