Technical Details & Test Data

Typical Performance

In internal tests, EXTINITY® 0103-202 performed to a V-1 rating for UL-94 vertical testing at thickness from 0.030” to 0.060”, and has a V-0 rating at greater thickness. In addition, this compound has passed UL-94 HB tests at thickness of 0.020” and greater. In specific product architectures, EXTINITY® 0103-202 is used as a jacketing compound in order to achieve a Class I rating in the ASTM E-84 “Steiner Tunnel” test.

Processing Conditions

EXTINITY® 0103-202 can be processed very easily on a wide range of commercially available extrusion equipment. It can withstand extrusion temperatures up to 425°F, but recommended temperatures are much lower.
