(PlastEurope) -- Masterbatch
manufacturer Plastics Color (PCC, Calumet City, Illinois/USA) has introduced a
non-brominated flame retardant system for PP. “FlamaSol FR” contains no
brominated flame retardants or antimony but is claimed to have improved
extinguishing properties compared with the company’s previous flame
retardant.
|
 |
The additive was developed in response to a perceived requirement for safer
flame resistant plastics for applications in construction materials (electrical
conduit, junction boxes, and switch boxes), warehouse products (shelving and
pallets), personal electronic equipment (computers, printers and televisions)
and other applications where extreme heat may cause ignition. |
|
The material is available in white, black and natural masterbatches and
PCC can custom-formulate it for any colour. The company is currently working on
a FlamaSol product for PE.
