Flame retardant additives are a common type of additive used in engineering plastic products, providing flame resistance to plastics, limiting combustion, or reducing flammability in case of fire.
CPI flame retardant masterbatch can be used to provide flame resistance for PE, PP, ABS, PVC, PC plastics, and more.
Flame Retardant Properties for Plastics:
- Increases the ignition temperature of the material
- Slows down the burning rate
- Reduces the heat release rate
- Limits flame spread
- Decreases smoke production
Applications of Flame Retardant Additives:
Flame retardant pellets for plastics are added during the manufacturing process of engineering plastic products and common plastic products to enhance the safety of equipment or items such as plastic packaging, plastic pipes, electrical equipment, plastic flooring, etc.
- Electronics Industry: Flame retardants are used to protect sensitive electronic components from fire damage.
- Construction Industry: Flame retardants are added to building materials like insulation, roofing, and electrical wiring to reduce fire risk.
- Packaging: Flame retardant pellets are also used in packaging materials to reduce the risk of fire during transportation and storage.
- Transportation: Flame retardant pellets are applied in the production of automotive parts and aircraft interiors to protect passengers and operators in case of fire.
