Many a cable fire can result in a major conflagration, threatening people and property. This is a problem area for which BYK has developed an effective additive solution with its innovative flame-retardant synergist, CLOISITE. CLOISITE leads to improved flame retardancy in halogen-free cable formulations, even with a low dosage. By forming a stable combustion crust, CLOISITE prevents flaming droplets, thereby satisfying the strictest fire standards.
