TEGOMER® FR 120 can be used to produce halogen-free, flame retardant polyolefin, EVA or elastomeric compounds.
TEGOMER® FR 120 serves as process aid for highly loaded compounds containing carbon black or mineral fillers, like aluminum or magnesium hydroxide.
Typical Applications
TEGOMER® FR 120 can be used to produce halogen-free, flame retardant polyolefin, EVA or elastomeric compounds.
TEGOMER® FR 120 serves as process aid for highly loaded compounds containing carbon black or mineral fillers, like aluminum or magnesium hydroxide.
TEGOMER® FR 120 improves machine parameters such as extrusion head pressure and torsional moment significantly for
a) untreated fillers and
b) even for silane treated grades
TEGOMER® FR 120 does not only work as an external lubricant as silicone oil but also in the bulk phase resulting in optimized viscosity measured with Mooney viscosimeter.
By thermally initiated crosslinking reactions, TEGOMER® FR 120 can be introduced permanently into polymeric resins.
The use of TEGOMER® FR 120 allows the processing of high-filled HFFR compounds (up to 70%), even with untreated ATH or MDH.

Benefits at a glance
TEGOMER® FR 120 provides several benefits to the polymer formulation such as:
- Better dispersion of fillers resulting in very good flame-resistant classification
- Less water uptake
- Is working as internal lubricant
- Higher output by optimized melt rheology
- Less pressure built-up and amperage draw during extrusion
- Prevents die droll
- Reduced wear out at the machinery by improved melt flow
- Reduced abrasion in the extruder
- Less maintenance costs
- Excellent char formation
- Low smoking cable formulation can be achieved
- Low heat and smoke release
- Significantly improved Lower Oxygen Index (LOI)
