Lower Heat Release
Improved Properties
The building and construction industry is utilizing an increasing amount of plastics to reduce costs, improve design freedom, and to expedite construction. Yet, industry FR standards often prohibited the use of thin, transparent PC or PET materials that relied on the use of traditional FR additves such as brominated flame retardants.
But now, FRX Polymers’ Nofia flame retandards enable manufactures to utilize thin, transparent PC or PET parts that achieve the most stringent building and construction FR specifications.
Benefits in PC
-
Clear flame retardant choice
-
Superior flame retardancy in thin applications
-
Lower heat release than competition
-
Higher heat deflection temperature versus plasticizing flame retardants
-
Improved mechanical properties
-
Non-migrating
Benefits in PET
New: With Nofia FRs, it is now possible to manufacture thin and transparent FR PET films that can be positioned for applications that traditionally use for FR PC, PEI, and PI materials.
Your result: A substantial cost reduction while maintaining performance.
-
The clear flame retardant choice
-
Superior flame retardancy in thin applications
-
Reactive to host polymer; creating a permanent bond and flame retardancy and helping to build viscosity during processing
-
Lower heat release versus other FR’s, better flame retardancy
-
Improved mechanical properties
-
Non-migrating
