Yes. Pretty much anything that can be printed at 250C or lower will work in the UMs. The UM2 especially can handle high temperatures well. I suspect you can go much higher than 250C as long as the rear fan is working but the default firmware won't allow this.
I have printed PA6 nylon on the UM2 and it works fine.
The Ultimaker 1 and 2 is a superior design in many ways but one drawback is that it can't handle filament larger than 3.000mm as it can get stuck in the clear plastic bowden tube. Also it has more trouble than most printers with rubbery filament (solved by adding a drop of oil to the filament and printing extra slow) because it pushes the filament through the tube instead of pulling.
I notice that this flame retardant filament is 2.9mm so this will work fine in the UM2.

Strap in for the first Cura release of 2024! This 5.7 beta release brings new material profiles as well as cloud printing for Method series printers, and introduces a powerful new way of sharing print settings using printer-agnostic project files! Also, if you want to download the cute dinosaur card holder featured below, it was specially designed for this release and can be found on Thingiverse!
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
