UNIPLEX FRP-45
CAS NO.
26040-51-7
Uniplex FRP-45 is a liquid
flame retardant for polyvinyl chloride that provides excellent plasticizing
properties, in addition to flame retardancy.
Uniplex FRP-45 provides the following advantages in polyvinyl
chloride, as well as in other elastomers such as SBR, Neoprene, and EPDM:
•
High oxygen index values for efficient flame retardancy
•
Highly effective plasticization
•
Superior thermal and color stability
•
Low volatility
•
Excellent electrical properties
APPLICATIONS:
Uniplex FRP-45 is recommended in the following applications:
•
Fire Retardant Flexible PVC
•
Wire and Cable Insulation
•
Film and Sheeting
•
Carpet Backing
•
Coated Fabrics
•
Wall Coverings
•
Adhesives and Coatings

SUGGESTED FORMULATIONS:
Uniplex
FRP-45 is used as a total, or partial, replacement for conventional
plasticizers, such as Uniplex 546 (Trioctyltrimellitate). The total plasticizer content of polyvinyl
chloride compounds should be in the range of 40 - 50 parts plasticizer per 100
parts polyvinyl chloride resin. A
typical formulation for wire and cable is:
