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
