Arichem HES2-FR is a high efficiency product used especially for flame retarding PC. The product is specifically designed to produce a high level of transparency in FR PC.
The active sulfonate content of Arichem HES2-FR is much more than that of Potassium Perfluoro-butyl sulfonate (KPBS) and other sulfonate FR products. FR effectiveness has been shown to be related to sulfonate content.
- Use or Loading Levels
Non Halogen Polycarbonate formulation
Arichem HES2-FR is used at fractional loading levels typically less than 0.15% for UL94 V0 flammability performance at 1.6mm thickness. Below is a starting formulation.
Formulation Component Loading % Polycarbonate (6 MFI) 97.88 Arichem HES2-FR 0.12 Siloxane Anti-drip 2.00 It has been noted in critical applications that Arichem HES2-FR loading levels of less than 0.12% provide high transparency. This effect depends largely on the PC resin and anti-drip products used.
Polycarbonate formulation with Halogen Anti-drip for Opaque FR PC formulations
Arichem HES2-FR is used at fractional loading levels typically less than 0.1% for UL94 V0 flammability performance at 1.6mm thickness. Below is a starting formulation.
