Application Data:
Polyester (PBT and PET) and Polyamide (Nylon 6 and Nylon 66)
compounds incorporating Uniplex FRP-64 demonstrate excellent mechanical and thermal stability
properties. Since Uniplex FRP-64 is a polymeric flame retardant , it does not bloom or migrate
from the plastic or cause plate-out during injection molding. Uniplex FRP-64 melt blends during
normal processing conditions to produce good flow characteristics necessary for thin walled or
multi-cavity parts. This flame retardant is particularly useful in the manufacture of
electrical/electronic component parts (e.g. electrical connectors)
