Features & Benefits

Benefits and Features

SAYTEX BT-93W flame retardant has outstanding thermal and UV stability. Its white color allows use in color-sensitive applications. Its thermal stability allows use in engineering resins like polyesters and polyamides. SAYTEX BT-93W flame retardant is also non-blooming. This feature allows use in such critical applications as polyolefin films where good heat sealability is required. Its excellent wet electrical properties also make it ideal for wire and cable applications.
