Please consider the following questions when selecting a suitable flame retardant for your application:
- What is the polymer type?
- What type of flame retardant is allowed? Halogenated? Non-halogenated?
- What standards must be met (i.e. UL94, FMVSS, ASTM, or NFPA)?
- If UL94, will it be HB, V-2, V-1, V-0, 5VB, or 5VA and at what part thickness?
- Are mechanical properties (i.e. tensile strength, elongation, flexural modulus, impact) important to the product?
- Will the product be exposed to sunlight (i.e. UV stability)?
Answering these questions in advance will help our Technical Team aid you in selecting the appropriate flame retardant for the application. Yushun New Materials flame retardant products are available in a multitude of chemistries, including halogenated or non-halogenated formulations, and can be customized for specific needs.
