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)
