Features & Benefits

Benefits and Features

SAYTEX 8010 flame retardant has very good thermal stability and high bromine content making it a prime candidate for high temperature applications. It exhibits good UV resistance and hence is suitable for use in many applications requiring color stability. Because of its very good thermal stability and low blooming characteristics, SAYTEX 8010 flame retardant is suitable for use in systems where recycling is anticipated. SAYTEX 8010 flame retardant is not acutely toxic, it is not teratogenic, and it is not harmful to fish. SAYTEX 8010 flame retardant can be used in the formulation of products meeting European dioxin ordinances.
