A proprietary polymer has been used to create a variety of compounds. Of particular interest are a series of compounds which are flame resistant, generate low smoke, are non‐contaminating, and which exhibit excellent oven aging characteristics without impairment of low temperature flexibility. The paper will discuss the properties of the polymer and the properties of the various compositions which make them suitable for many applications such as wire and cable, film and sheet, medical, automotive, shoe soles and appliances.
