Applications & Use Cases
- ▸ Halogen-free flame retardant for glass-fiber-reinforced polyamides (PA6, PA66) used in electrical and electronic connectors, switches, and circuit-breaker housings.
- ▸ Flame-retardant additive for thermoplastic polyesters (PBT, PET) to achieve UL 94 V-0 ratings in E&E components and automotive parts.
- ▸ Used in combination with synergists such as melamine polyphosphate or zinc borate to enhance char formation and intumescent performance in engineering resins.
- ▸ Incorporated via compounding/extrusion at typical loadings of 15-25% to meet stringent low-smoke, low-corrosivity fire-safety standards in electronics.
- ▸ Applied where halogen-free flame retardancy is required to meet RoHS, WEEE, and OEM environmental specifications for plastic enclosures.
