Estane® ZHF 85AT8 MATT 02
Estane® ZHF 85AT8 MATT 02 is a non-halogen flame retardant thermoplastic polyurethane based on an aromatic polyether TPU structure. The material is designed for extrusion applications where flame resistance and mechanical durability are essential.
This grade combines good flexibility with strong mechanical properties including high tensile strength, abrasion resistance and tear resistance. The non-halogen flame retardant formulation makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring improved fire safety performance while maintaining the typical processing advantages of TPU materials.
Key Features:
- Non-halogen flame retardant TPU
- Aromatic polyether-based thermoplastic polyurethane
- Excellent abrasion resistance and mechanical strength
- Good flexibility and elongation
- UL94 V-2 flame rating at 2.0 mm
- Suitable for extrusion processing
Processing Form:
- Extrusion
Processing Notes:
Prior to processing, the material should be dried at 80°C for approximately 4 hours in a dehumidifying dryer to ensure proper moisture control. Typical extrusion temperatures range from approximately 160°C to 200°C depending on equipment configuration and final product geometry.
Purpose:
Flame Retardant
Application:
Used for extruded TPU components requiring flame retardancy and mechanical durability such as cable jackets, industrial profiles and technical parts.
Delivery Form:
Pellets
Key Sustainability Features of Estane TPU
Bio-Based Content
The Estane ECO TPU series incorporates renewable materials, with bio-based content ranging from 20% to 69%, certified according to ASTM D6866.
Biomass Balance Approach
The Estane RNW TPU line utilizes mass-balanced biomass feedstocks, reducing reliance on fossil-based sources while maintaining the quality and performance of standard petroleum-based resins.
Reduced Carbon Footprint
Implementing sustainable feedstocks in Estane RNW TPU products has achieved up to a 59% reduction in product carbon footprint, contributing to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Performance Consistency
TPUs deliver the same high-quality performance as traditional TPUs, ensuring that sustainability enhancements do not compromise material integrity.
