UNIPLEX FRP 44-57
FLAME RETARDANT
Description
: A liquid flame retardant plasticizer containing bromine and chlorine
compounds. Improves on low temperature brittleness and lower smoke
than conventional brominated phthalate diesters used in wire and cable
industry applications.
Features
: Pale yellow liquid
Improved flame retardant efficiency due to bromine/chlorine synergy
Superior electrical properties
Lower smoke (NBS smoke chamber)
Improved low temperature brittleness properties
Typical Properties
:
Total esters: 98% minimum
Gardner Color: 3 maximum
Water Content 0.1% maximum
Acid Value: 0.05meq/100g maximum
Thermal Stability
5% Wt. Loss: 295°C
